CRYSTALS OF ARBOREA
Arborea, last island refuge on a
submerged world - a world in
chaos. The Crystals of Arborea,
four crystals of great magical
power, have disappeared from
their sacred resting places.
Morgoth, Lord of Chaos, for¬
merly exiled deep under the plan¬
et’s surface by the warrior-gods of
old and held there by the power of
the crystals, once again stalks the
surface of Arborea.
You, Jarel, Prince amongst
your people, must travel Arborea
with a band of trusted compan¬
ions.
You have only your skill and
cunning of a warrior and the magic
of the White Arts, to defend your¬
self against the evil of Morgoth
and his allies. Fortunately, with the
help of your allies you will be able
to confuse the enemy and hope¬
fully gain the advantage.
Each team member can be
controlled and will be of some
specific use when battling against
Morgoth. These skills will become
apparent as the game unfolds.
Some of the battles will be
bloody and not all will go your way
but you must continue the fight
against evil otherwise Morgoth will
take control and death and
destruction will reign forever.
Crystals of Arborea is set for
release in April although the price =
has not been estabilished as yet. ■
We will keep you informed.
There are some wonderful and marvelous
sites to see in Crystals of Arborea and
each location has been beautifully drawn
to enhance the games atmosphere. At the
bottom of the screen is the status window
which informs you how welt you are doing.
The character presently under your control
is dispiayed in the centre of the informa¬
tion window and the other team members
are shown to the right.
The demon has arisen from his under¬
ground domain and his conquest of evil
and destruction is about to begin. Restore
the crystais or ali wiil be lost. The crys¬
tals are the source of Arborea's power and
only they can restore peace and tranquilli¬
ty in this iand of despair and terror.

AMIGA
ACTION
emoniak is a combination of
text adventure and simulated
reality. It is the first off game in
Palace’s Pure Fiction series, fea¬
turing a unique new system which
simulates a game-world with inde¬
pendent but interacting characters.
The game includes over 50
independent artificially intelligent
characters, and the player can
become any one of these while all
other characters continue their
lives ‘off screen’. Thus, a vast num¬
ber of perspectives and abilities are
open to the player, creating a
game of remarkable depth, free¬
dom and complexity.
Demoniak has been written by
Alan Grant, a comic writer of inter¬
national renown, with titles such as
Batman, Judge Dredd and Stron¬
tium Dog of 2000AD fame to his
cre(jlit. We couldn’t show you any
text screen as they were not avail¬
able to us at this time.
The game is planned for
release sometime in April carrying
a price tag of about £29.99.
There is plenty of villainy and death and the plot soon unfolds
into something more terrible than you had originally anticipat¬
ed. The characters presently in shot are shown in detail to the
left of the screen.
Although a text adventure, some of the location graphics are excellent
and extremely well detailed. The look of the game is pretty damn sinis¬
ter and the plot shrouded in mystery.
Demoniak is evil incarnate. Demoniak
is claws that rip at innocent eyes, -
fangs that tear the throats of angels, j
Demoniak is the curse that shrieks
down the centuries - a scream that
cries blood!
Demoniak has
torn a hole in the
fabric of your
universe.
Through it pour
his evil hordes
hell hent on con¬
quest and gratu¬
itous violence.
You must stop
him now or suf¬
fer the conse¬
quences.

TOP SECRET HYDRA
We re in the future now and terror¬
ists rule the seas and skies. When
a top secret package must be
delivered, the only courier with the
skill to get through is Hydra.
With nine missions to com¬
plete, success rests on your ability
to steer your Hydracraft using its
supercharged speed and firepow¬
er to blast a path through the
enemy. Whether you’re running
against a gauntlet of boats, jetskis,
Zeppelins, choppers, fighters or
hovercraft, the game looks set to
offer some extremely heart-pound¬
ing action.
Everything and everyone is
against you and they will stop at
nothing to sabotage your courier
plans. Can you keep them at bay
or will you end up like those
before you - deadmeat?
The release date has not been
set or the price but we will inform
you of both as and when they are
available.
There are plenty of missions to choose
from and each contains its own individual
hazards and tasks that must be completed.
Begin with the easier missions to become
experienced for the harder ones later on.
Should you fail your mission you will be
asked to start again from scratch and you
will be given a new directive. But remem¬
ber, the experience all counts.
Straight in the thick of the action and you
are already under attack from the enemy
forces. Watch out for the islands as they
will damage your craft. All kinds of differ¬
ent enemy craft will attack and each new
one win be more vicious than the last.
Keep your gun blasting and you should take
some of the enemy out successfully.
Destroy the enemy formations and collect
the money that is strung below the bal¬
loons. Keep an eye on pur fuel level oth¬
erwise you will find yourself slowing down
in front of oncoming aliens.

screen via the mouse and commands input

W e already mentioned Nam
1965 - 1975 from Domark in
the last issue but all we were able
to show you was a photo of
Domark playing soldiers. Well, the
guys and gals have sent us some
in-game screen pics.
There are two aspects to Nam
- political and military, both of
which have to be finely balanced.
As Commander-in-Chief, you must
prevent South Vietnam falling to
the Communist powers. Invading
Viet Cong guerrillas attempt to ‘win
over’ the population and so topple
the South Vietnamese Govern¬
ment. You have full control over the
marines, airforce and army.
The date of release was origi¬
nally to be February but the product
will be a little later. Expect a review
in the next issue.
As a political leader, you will be scruti¬
nised by the newspapers. Some of the
reports will be favourable, others will not.
If they are not you will need to take the
necessary action to make you popular once
again with your people.
DM HE HEMIIES
Trapped on an edge, you are forced to fight
your way into safety against a soldier and
an executioner. The axeman is armed with
a deadly axe which he will use to slice your
T he Jolly Roger’s flying. Evil
pirates, treasure and adven¬
ture on the high seas are all part of
the action in this swashbuckling
fight for food, drink, booty and
revenge. These are the ingredients
to Domark’s Skull & Crossbones.
Unsheath your sword - there’s
more than treasure at stake. There
are wenches to be saved and
pirate ships to be overhauled. Fight
against the Arch Magus and try to
avoid Medusa’s deadly stare.
Pirate fights pirate in this hack ‘n’
slash game for two players.
Pirates features some very
attractive graphics and superb ani¬
mation. But you will have to be skil-
full with your sword otherwise you
will perish along with all the other
would-be pirates. No release date
yet but we’ll keep you informed.

E ver since the appearance of
the Freescape environment
system, each new Freescape
release has been improved and
sold more than the previous. But
what exactly is Freescape?
The first Freescape game to
come from Domark was entitled
Driller. It featured amazing 3D
graphics that were realistic in that
you could view them from any
angle and they would still remain
‘true’. In effect, a world was created
that could be explored in great
detail.
After Driller came Dark Side,
Total Eclipse and Castle Master.
Now, Domark are set to release the
Freescape 3D Construction Set:
You can build your own worlds to
explore and your options are
almost unlimited.
3D Construction Set looks to
be a biggy so keep your eyes
peeled. It will be available in April
with the price to be announced.
000 / 06 '
(Below) Aah! A cosy fire and a spongy sofa.
What more could you want? More! If you
want more then you are going to have to
buy the game. We’ve started you off any¬
how, the rest is up to you.
(Above) Obviously, once you have built a
house you will need some way of getting
around. A car is the obvious choice and you
can make it as sporty or classic as you like.
The choices are limitless.

As usual with the Jack Nicklaus Golf
games, the graphics are extremely colour¬
ful and very well detailed indeed. The
golfer is always shown in the centre of the
screen although there is an option to view
the course from different angles.
The atmosphere is tense as you step
towards the table to make your shot. Will
you go for a pot or attempt a safety shot?
The decision is yours hut you’ll have to
plan carfully if you are to win.
B y day Brat is the most angelic
baby you can ever hope to
meet. But once he’s asleep he
starts to have the strangest dreams
where he becomes a rough, tough,
street smart Brat who roams the
strange worlds of his dreams look¬
ing for trouble.
But despite his tough exterior.
he’s still a baby and has now lost
all sense of direction. You must
take control of Brat and guide him
safely through the strange fantasy
world of Toy Town, The Park and
Space World.
Brat’s unique mode of control
means that the game should be
very playable and easy to get into.
With a huge playing area, a host of
objects to collect, lots of hazards to
avoid and the wildest baby you’ll
ever meet. Brat has all the hall¬
marks of a classic, so expect a full
review soon.
It will be published on the
Imageworks label this Spring and
will set you back a measly £24.99.

R obozone is set in a bleak
vision of the future, the 21st
century, where the big cities are so
polluted that no human can survive
there. So the chosen few escape to
ships moored where the pollution is *
less severe. The masses remain in
the city along with the Wolverine, a
squad of robots armed with power¬
ful weapons who are to protect the
city until such time as the pollution
has subsided enough for the cities
to become habitable again.
The Wolverine were subjected
to increasing numbers of attacks by
angry citizens who felt they had
been abandoned by their govern¬
ment. Then, a new threat emerged
- the Pollutants. These came from
nowhere, evil black, stick-like
robots that wrecked the cities and
scavenged all the metal they could
find. Having the element of sur¬
prise they completely overwhelmed
the Wolverine, destroying thou¬
sands. Now they have the city
under their control.
Robozone is a sideways
scrolling shoot ‘em-up. You play
the only Wolverine left in New York
and must attempt to reach the
main furnace in order to stop the
Pollutants. No date for release has
been set yet, likewise the price.

THE GREAT US OPEN
The fourth disc in the series of
Jack Nicklaus accessory discs.
Great Courses of the US Open
contains three of the most chal¬
lenging and popular courses to
ever host the US classic: Pebble
Beach, Oakmont Country Club
and Baltursol Golf Club.
Each course contains it’s own
series of hazards which come in
the shape of hills, bunkers and the
dreaded water. The view is taken
from behind the golfer although
the views can be switched for the
best possible vantage point. You’ll
have to make sure that you take
the wind direction Into account
otherwise the ball will veer off
course.
The course disc, which is
released by Accolade, should be
around by the time you read this,
with the price at £11.99.

In Railroad Tycoon you can choose just
who you want to be. Obviously, first time
players will want to begin at the novice
stage but for those who prefer a challenge
you make it as hard as you want.
You have the chance to build your
own railroad and supply trains to
fund it but you’ll need to be a
shrewd business man otherwise
your competitors will steal the lime¬
light and your hopes. Obviously,
there are other hazards to beware
off. Running trains is no easy busi¬
ness and you’ll have to keep them
running smoothly otherwise they
might collide into each other and
that would be a catastrophe. You
can choose to carry passengers or
start your business tranporting
chemicals for farmers and industry.
This is useful for starting up.
If you have ever fancied
designing your own railway (Horn¬
by fanatics this is for you) then
look no further. Railroad Tycoon
looks set to be a biggy. Expect a
full review next month.
SIDE UIEIS
ON THE RIGHT TRACK
Microprose have just finished Rail¬
road Tycoon which is previewed in
the Late Kick Off section. The
game revolves around the early
days of railroad construction and
the competitive spirit that helped
make the system what it is today
(no comments!).
F ollowing on from the
great success of Neb-
ulus, Hewson are to release the
sequel entitled, appropriately
enough, Nebulus 2.
^ Like the prequel, Nebulus 2
features our favourite, bouncy
friend Pogo as he attempts to
make his way through the terribly
confusing land of Nor, made up of
sea and huge towers.
Travelling from tower to ^
tower, Pogo must make his ^
way to the top of each one but this
is not as simple as first seems.
Each is littered with puzzles and
dangers including the killer turtle -
^ who flies around the towers
destroying any Pogos that
get in his way, leaping blobs,
killer bees and exploding bal-
loons.
Pogo needs to avoid all the
nasties and negotiate his way,
using the lift and platforms, up to
the top of each tower. Also includ¬
ed are three sub-games linking
towers by air, sea and land. Fortu¬
nately, he can collect useful items
such as magnets and power boots
which will help him avoid the nas¬
ties and traps. These items, when
collected, appear in the inventory
window under the main display
screen. But he needs to be careful
how he uses them. Nebulus 2 will
be released in late April with
a price tag of £24.99.
Aithough Pogo may think that he is reiative-
ly safe from harm on the towers, he must
keep aware of the impending danger of the
flying turtle who rotates around the tower in
an attempt to knock our hero off
There are plenty of nasties in Nebulus 2
and each one is out to stop Pogo. Fortunate¬
ly, he can wear the power boots which wiil
ailow him to leap over them in great
bounds.
At the bottom of the screen is the inventory
window which contains the speciai items
held by Pogo. The keys open the doors
while the magnet pulls down lifts that were
previously inaccessible.
Our little hero, Pogo, is back and this time
he is determined to make it safely through
the land of Nor by completing the towers
successfully. If he fails then all is lost.
Pogo must make his way to the top of the
towers via the iifts, platforms and door¬
ways. Some doors are locked but he can
open them using the speciai keys.
CHOCKS AUW
M icroprose, king of simulators,
are set to release F-15 Strike
Eagle 2. Amiga Action visited their
offices and the product was looking
very good indeed.
As a fighter pilot, you must take
part in several missions that will
test all your aerial skills and com¬
bat experience. Most of the time
you will be required to intercept
enemy planes but you will progress
onto the more complex missions
such as tankbusting and reconnais¬
sance. If you make it back safely
you can be proud of yourself and
thank your lucky stars. Who knows,
you may even be promoted to a
higher rank.
F-15 Strike Eagle 2 is due for
release in April with the price yet to
be decided.
You take out the enemy below and then dart
away from the war theatre and head for the
safety of home. You can 7 help but think
about the reaction by your superiors to your
first successful mission.
Looking
through the
ieft side you
spot a major
mountain
area. It seems
that there
may be some
enemy activi¬
ty close by.
You close in
on the area
and scan for
any enemy
radar signals.
As you thought, your commanding officer is
more than happy with your mission status
and calis you into his office. There, in front
of the stars and stripes, he pins a medal to
your chest.
You are taken to the special hangar where
you are shown around your bird. Now you
have the chance to load up your plane with
the kind of weapons you think may be nec¬
essary for the dangerous mission you are
about to embark upon.
You take off from your airbase runway and
check your HUD for encroaching enemy
planes. The HUD indicates a possible tar¬
get off to the left and so you take the appro¬
priate action.
4 cars/VMT of uvoStocr
€ cars/vear of Cnomicals
To run your railway stations you will need
certain assets. The first thing to buy is
train carriages. You can then ferry supplies
such as chemicals and livestock.

"SKI OR DIE" FIVE FUN-FILLED WAYS
TO END UP IN HOSPITAL
SNOWBOARD HALF PIPE
ACRO AERIALS
INNERTUBE THRASH
DOWNHILL BLITZ
As Rodney so eloquently put it, "Snow sports ain't for powder puffs" So as soon as you arrive at his Ski Shop you'll be
presented with not one, but five chilling routes to oblivion. Count 'em while you still can.
There's the "Snowboard Half Pipe", 2 minutes of sheer hell down a near-sheer drop, not made any easier by the presence of
teams of chain saw bunnies and punked out penguins.
"Aero Aerials", fly, flip, twist and tuck, down the glacier and convince the judges that you really meant to do it that way.
If your idea of fun is to race down a mountain on an inflated inner tube, while Rodney's son Lester tries to puncture you
and your vehicle with various sharpened objects, "Innertube Thrash" is for you.
You couldn't get further from a nice playful playground snowball fight. "Snowball Blast" is deadly and deadly serious.
Finally there is "Downhill Blitz", a no-holds-barred race down unknown trails against the clock
and against all common sense.
And if you're the type who really does have a ski loose, then why not try them all?
Do you prefer flowers or grapes?
If you can't find "Ski or Die" at your favourite store, call our Direct Sales Line: 0753-49442

For years games players aroiind the uiorld haue ashed
questions like "Which is the best shoot'em-up?", "is Falcon
better than F15 strike Eagle?", "Which are the all time classic
Amiga Games?". Now from the premier Amiga games maga¬
zine comes a world beating rating system that prouldes the
answers to all those, as yet unanswered. Questions...
The new system that has enabled
this major advance in game scor¬
ing is called The Amiga Action
Super League' and it uses a rank¬
ing system rather than a traditional
percentage score. We have once
again included an overall percent¬
age score in addition to the new
system, while we collate your vot¬
ing forms.
HovitheieayuesiisteinuiorKs
There is a Super League for each
type of game: a league for
Shoot'em-ups, one for Flight Simu¬
lators, one for Puzzle games and
so on. Each new game that comes
in for review is put into one of
these leagues based on which type
of game it is. Where a game con¬
tains several gameplay aspects,
our team decide which part of the
game is the most significant. So for
example, Strider 2 does contain
elements found in platform games,
but on the whole, you need to do
more meanie killing than ladder
climbing and so it is classed as a
shoot'em-up. Every league has its
own icon to make things easier to
understand.
Once a game has been placed
in a league, its position within that
league is decided. Essentially the
reviewing team decides which
games of the same type it is better
than and which it is worse than.
This means that for the first time in
magazine reviewing, games are
being compared against games of
a similar type instead of against all
games in general.
The results of the reviewer's
decision is displayed both on the
review itself and on the League
table pages elsewhere in the mag¬
azine (this month's tables are on
the very next page!).
So if you want to go out and
buy a puzzle game, all you have to
do is turn to the league tables, find
the puzzle games table and look
up which are the top games. Of
course as new games are
released, older games will start to
drop down the leagues. Games
which stay near the top of a league
for many months or years are
'classics'.
otAerchaoyes 10 Amiga ACM
It's not just the scoring system that
has been redesigned. The entire
magazine has been rethought to
give you even better coverage of
the expanding Amiga Games
scene.
As you will have noticed the
review layouts are stunning and
they feature some amazing new
innovations.
First on the list are what we
call 'Digi-Scapes'. These are per¬
fectly joined screenshots which
show what the entire playing area
of a game looks like. It's impossi¬
ble to show how a game actually
appears when moving on screen,
but this is as close as you could
possible get on a magazine page.
Next comes 'Role Call'. These
are panels showing the various
characters from a game and what
movements they can perform.
Reviews now also contain spe¬
cial labelled screenshots (know in
as 'annotated screenshots')
which help to illustrate what the
objects and gadgets in a game do.
For example, we can now point to
all the items on a flight sim's instru¬
ment panel and describe what
each one does.
Last but not least we have our
'In Action' sequences which are
used to tell stories or show how
each move in the game affects
your situation. These are particu¬
larly useful for describing puzzle
games.
Aidneivleaivnisioo!
As well as improving our reviewing
system and page layouts, we have
taken this opportunity to add some
more features to Amiga Action.
There is now a regular mini
reviews section called 'Late Kick
Off. Here games that came into
our office late in the month are
evaluated. They don't get the full
Amiga Action treatment and the
games are not placed in the Super
League until the following month,
but it does give an insight into what
the games are like. The best ones
featured in Late Kick Off will be
reviewed in the next month's mag¬
azine.
Also a regular feature is our
look at non games products for the
Amiga. Two pages devoted to disk
drives, modems, utilities and other
useful gadgets. It's short and snap¬
py and keeps you up-to-date with
the rest of the Amiga universe.
We will also be giving you spe¬
cial features on just what the soft¬
ware houses are up to. If they pro¬
duce some kind of launch, you can
bet your bottom dollar that we will
be there, armed with a camera and
a notepad.

I Response to our putting a
' coverdisk on Amiga Action has
I been amazing! So popular in fact
I that we are now selling 6,000 more
1 copies than before the arrival of
the disk! Of course with public
^ response like that, we couldn't do
anything but make the coverdisk a
i regular (that's every issue!). We'll
guarantee you up to date demos
i and sample programs. You can’t
i lose really, can you?

As if that lot wasn't enough, we've

■ excellent screenshots. All this for
I the same dosh - we must be mad!

[ mat so keep viewing!
TRICKS OF THE TRADE EKPLIIIIIEDIIIIDEIIPLOIIED
The core of any scoring system
is the score panel itself - and
what a corker the new Amiga
Action Info panel is! Below is a
detailed annotation of the new
score panel and some handy
notes on the two new Amiga
Action top game awards. The
example shown is taken from the
Kick Boxing review, but of course
the info applies to all of Amiga
Actions reviews.
Obvious, but essential, informa¬
tion can be found at the top of
the Action Info scoring panel.
The game’s full name is fol¬
lowed by the software house who
are publishing the product, and
the full retail price at which it is
available in the High Street.
The quality of a game's graphics
is one of the key factors in decid¬
ing whether or not to make a pur¬
chase. That's why graphics has
its very own score block. Marks
are given from 1% (ZX81 style)
to 100% (Leonardo DeVinci eat
your heart out!). Of course our
team take a lot of factors Into
account when scoring for graph¬
ics, including: Animation,
scrolling, use of colour, variety
of graphics and so on. This
example shows a score of 85%.
The most important aspect of an
Amiga Action review is the
reviewing team's comment. This
explains in plain English what we
thought of the game and where it
fell down or, on the more posi¬
tive side, where it really scores.
Percentage ratings and league
tables are one thing, but this text
is what you should really look
out for when assessing a game.
This line tells you which league
the game under review has been
placed in. These names corre¬
spond to the icon that you will
find at the beginning of the
review and the league tables
which you will find on the next
page and in every edition from
now on.

PANZA KICK BOXING
FUTURA/U.S.GOLD £14.99
TEAM; PASCAL JARRY
J
We firmly believe that it is
high time that the real heroes
of the software business - the
programmers and develop¬
ment teams - get some well
earned recognition. That's
why every review includes
details of who actually creat¬
ed the game. This will take
the form of either a develop¬
ment team's name or the
Individual programmers sur¬
names.
tion ever produced for the Amiga. The
graphics have actually been copied from
real life footage and this reflects in the
smooth and realistic animation on the
fighters. Sound is excellent and you can
lly feel the blows making contact. The
referee is a little annoying as he grunts
whenever a decision is called and this
sound does become very annoying after a
while. Panza Kick Boxing is an excellent
game and one that will definitely appeal to
beat ‘em-up fans.
As with graphics, sound gets
its own rating. Again marks
are on a percentage basis
with points being given for,
amongst other things: use of
the Amiga's capabilities,
originality, music, special
effects and contribution to the
game's atmosphere. This
example shows a score of
80% which is excellent.
The League Rating panel
informs you of where in the
Super League the game
under review is piaced. The
game being reviewed will
always appear in the middle
of the three boxes while the
game immediately above it
in the league (i.e. the game
which is just better than it)
will be In the box above and,
of course, the game just
below it in the league will be
placed in the box below. The
league positions are indicat¬
ed to the teft of the game
titles. If a game hits the
number one slot then a
Touchdown will be indicated
in the top box - any game
that does that is an absolute¬
ly essential purchase!
KEIIIDIRDS FOR THOSE TOP RATED eOlHES...
OVERALL SCORE
80 %
Talk about controversial! The overall rating
is one of the most talked about subjects in
computer games magazine journalism. All
magazines use this system and like sheep
each new magazines that is brought out has
the same old unoriginal percentage score
to rate how good a game is. We think it
stinks! In fact we want to get rid of it all
together. We believe that it is far to sim¬
plistic to just 'pick' a score as if out of mid
air! However, we're here to serve you the
reader so last month we gave you the
chance to vote on the subject. It stays this
month while we collate your votes.
There are magazine accolades and
there is THE magazine accolade -
the 'Amiga Action Super League
Accolade'! Only games which will
leave their mark on the software
world for years to come can ever
hope to receive this coveted award.
You can rest assured that if you see
this symbol on a review, that game
is an essential purchase! So remem¬
ber only games of classic status will
receive the Super League Accolade.
We have decided that there are
many games out there that, while
not all time classics, are superb
games that are well worth the ask¬
ing price. These games have been
given their own award, the 'Amiga
Action Recommended'. Again if you
see this icon on a review you can be
sure that a game is well worth buy¬
ing. The minimum qualification for
a game to receive this recommend¬
ed stamp is a score of 75% or over.

A - These games have been awarded an Accolade for
outstanding impact within their ailocated ieague.

AMIGA
Ulelcome to this, the fifth Amiga Action cooer dish, and mhat a couer dish
it IS this month. Ulorhing day and night uie’ue managed to bring you three
of the best (if not THE BEST) demos around.
First of all there's a complete playable leuei from Mirrorsott's each
to the Future III. neMt comes yet another hot exclusiue from Gremlin in
the Shape of super cars li. Again there’s a whole leuei tor you to much
about with.
And then lust when you thought there could he no more we haue got
hold of a Whole playable leuei from Gore’s latest game, Chuch Roch, to go
with this month's mega reuiew.
Loading up your playable level of Chuck Rock from
Core Design couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do is
reset your Amiga and wait for the Workbench prompt to
appear (the hand holding the disk). Insert your
Coverdisk into your drive and wait for the screen to
turn blue and the CLI prompt to appear (1>). Once
this is displayed type in chuck rock and then hit

Not all the monsters are against you. Once you have stood They don’t call you Chuck Rock for nothing. Picking up a Let your dinos do the walking. With one massive jump you
close enough to this bird he will carry you across the other- nearby rock you throw it on to the croc’s head and you are land on the dinosaur’s back and get a leisurely trip across
wise uncrossable chasm. catapulted into the air and on to the platform above you. the swamp. ,
Chuck sat down in front of the old
box to watch a bit of dino-wrestling.
He broke open a six pack and sat
back, for what he thought was
going to be a relaxing afternoon.
Outside Ophelia, Chuck’s faith¬
ful, beautiful and rather dumb wife,
was hanging out the washing.
Unfortunately, she was quite
unaware of the eyes staring at her
from behind a small bush. Before
she knew what had happened it
was too late and she was on her
way back to the evil, and rather
posey, Gary Gutter’s cave.
It wasn’t long before Chuck
realised something was amiss
(well, it was about dinner-time).
Ophelia was gone and without her
Chuck couldn’t even boil an egg.
There was only one thing to do -
he must save her, even if all his
clothes were dirty.
That’s the basic story line. All
you have to do is control Chuck as
he pursues Gary Gritter. The nor¬
mal joystick moves apply so you
shouldn’t have any problems.
1) The klaxon sounds and the race begins. Leaving you in
their dust, the computer cars storm off to the first corner.
2) The first bend, a hairpin, proves too tricky for some
cars as they skid off into the undergrowth. Take it slowly,
use the grass verge to drive and power after the leader.
3) After a short straight, a tight left-hander leads into the
jump. This corner causes problems on the first lap, as
most of the cars travel around in a pack. Stay back and
wait your turn otherwise they will hinder your progress.
4) Staying back was a brilliant idea, as the cars in front
couldn’t get up enough speed to take the jump. The road
is clear, you can now speed over the chasm.
5) Having skidded around a tight right-hander, the track
leads under the long straight and up into another twisting
bend. Try not to brake when taking corners or you’ll skid
out of control.
6) Easing off the accelerator, you managed to scrape
around the corner without taking damage. Only one more
turn before you can finish the lap.
7) The corner eases out revealing a long straight to gain
speed. It also offers the perfect chance to overtake.
SUPEICMS 2
To load up your Supercars 2 demo
you will need to load your Work¬
bench disk first. Once it has load¬
ed insert your coverdisk and dou¬
ble click on the Amiga Action logo.
From the window read the
README file first then double click
on the Supercars 2 icon after. The
demo will now load.
Gremlin released Supercars
approximately a year ago, and it
was billed as being far better than
the excellent SuperSprint. Now
one of the hottest sequels of 1991
is finally here on an exclusive
Amiga Action coverdisk.
Supercars 2 features bigger
and better tracks, as well as
enhanced graphics and more com¬
puterised opponents - 10 to be
precise. You view the track-side
action from above, the screen
being split into two when racing
with someone else.
The level featured on the demo
includes jumps, fast straights and
winding bends. A total of 10 laps
have to be completed before the
race is over, the ultimate aim being
to finish the race in first place (eas¬
ier said than done!).
When playing the demo, press
the fire button to accelerate, and
nudge the joystick left or right to
turn in either direction. Pushing for¬
ward will launch a guided missile,
which will follow the course of the
track until it intercepts a car in
front. Pulling back on the joystick
will launch two unguided missiles
behind you. The other cars are
also armed so watch out!
uidihb ip
Loading your Back to the Future III
demo couldn’t be easier. All you
need do is re-boot your Amiga and
wait for the Workbench prompt (a
hand holding a disk). When this
appears insert your disk into DFO.
Eventually, the screen will turn blue
and you will be presented with a
CLI prompt (1>). At this point type:
demo and then hit Return. The
demo will immediately autoboot.
ME mill -HUE!
There are plenty of different items to shoot at and by far the easiest are the ducks that
scroll across the bottom. The goose is fairly easy but the gunslingers and military tar¬
gets need to be shot in the body or the head to knock them over - they don’t move if
you get them in the legs.
The hardest of all the objects to hit are the distant riflemen. They are very small
in size and disappear from sight rather quickly. Just hope that you can be in the right
place at the right time.
After the amazing success of the
first two Back to the Future games
we thought you would like a sneak
preview of the third instalment in
this exciting episode.
This time, Marti and the Profes¬
sor are running for their lives from
evil gunslingers and baddies in
general in a hope to get back to
their own time.
In this playable level, you play
the part of Marti who is desperately
trying to swot up on his shooting
skills. He bumps into a fairground
where he spots a shooting gallery.
What better way to sharpen his
reflexes?
The attendant beckons him up
to the stall where he hands him a
gun. Marti pays the attendant and
sets himself up for the battle
ahead.
This is where you step in. Con¬
trolling Marti’s gun, you must shoot
the ducks and geese that scroll
across the screen. Gunslingers
and military targets also pop up
and are worth heavy
bonus points. Riflemen appear in
the distance and, although small
and quick, they are worth a lot of
points should you hit them.
The gun is controlled with the
joystick and the direction of the bul¬
lets is indicated by a cross hair.
Pushing up on the stick moves the
gun down while pushing down
moves up. Does that make sense?
Unfortunately, you are being
timed so you will need to shoot as
fast as you can. If you hit a certain
number of targets you will be
rewarded with extra time where you
must shoot household objects such
as transistor radios and teddy
bears, much like the Generation
Game.
If your time does expire you will
told the number of objects that you
hit and how many points you accu¬
mulated. But don’t worry if you
didn’t do too well. You can always
have another go.
If on the other hand any sharp¬
shooters among you do extremely
well and manage a really high
score you will come to a point
where the game stops, preventing
you going any further, and you will
have to reset your machine.
The time is running out and you
still haven t hit anything useful. Ah
ha! You take aim at a goose before
letting go a single bullet. Blam!
The goose quacks in pain before
dropping lifeless from its support.

Taking a break from shuffling through the mailbag, the Boggit has
been poking around in the latest releases and has brought in a few
blooms from the cold-frame.
sequences are similar to that used
in Sierra's Hero Quest - awkward.
However the graphics are very
nicely done and although there Is
loads of disk swapping I don't think
we should get uptight about that.
You can't create a masterpiece
without swapping a few disks now
and again and again....
This game Is the successor to
Personal Nightmare which had
many fans here and overseas. The
puzzles appears to be fewer and
easier than those found in Personal
Nightmare, but that may be all to
the good. I don't think the game is
destined to be a world beater, but
like Its predecessor, It is profession¬
ally presented and deserves to do
well.
Archimedes and I spent a few
evenings with Dragon Wars from
Electronic Arts. The game is very
much in the Bard's Tale vein which
means that your mission Is to
select a Dirty Dozen, (five actually)
Dragon Wars may be similar to the old-
style Bard’s Tale games, but they includ¬
ed this handy auto-mapping feature
which will help you to find your way
around the torturous city streets.
I n true vampire style, Elvira
has bounced back from the
grave in this graphic RPG from
Accolade. Having found Elvira's
Spell Book, the hunt is now on to
find the many Ingredients which
are needed to conjure up the
magical concoctions needed to
cast the spells.
Elvira requires your help to
destroy the army of soldiers and
monsters which infest the battle¬
ments and dungeons of her cas¬
tle. Who could resist helping
such a poor under-nourished
child? The gorgeous Elvira's
humour is very American, which
sits uneasily alongside the horror
of the game (For example: Get
this wrong, and I'll tie knots in
your Weenie!')
The controls for fighting
from the local pubs and kick their
butts until they can 'cut It' with
the local bad guys. Nothing very
new seems to have been added
to the familiar formula, even if
they have changed the names
and shuffled the skills.
Games like these are very
addictive once you accept that
most of the action takes place in
your head. It can be off-putting
for new players to accept that the
picture of the corner of a room in
front of you, which is clearly visl-
blb and obviously empty, may
prove to contain six heavily
armed Dragons when you move
foHA^ard.
Although their picture will
appear onscreen, that's all the
action they will be asking your
supercharged Amiga to cope
with. It also seems odd that when
the fighting Is taking place the
machine takes an interminable
time to decide who hit whom and
with what. If you are into this type
of game - here's some more of
the same.

there has been precious little of

find carts filled with worhers
entering the clearing and begin¬
ning to set up huts. It now appears
that they haue been sent to build a

/ have had 'Elvira - Mistress of the
Dark' for about a week now and I
am doing okay, but I do have a few
questions. How do you kill the fat
woman with the meat cleaver who
scares Elvira out of the kitchen?
How do you avoid being killed by
the hawk and how do you kill the
Vampire?
I hope you are better than
those *$(§>!! at ST Action, especial¬
ly the Troll. I sent in a couple of
guides and queries and never got
mentioned once.
Phil Hoad, Hull
Have you heard the saying: She
was a good cook as good cooks
go, and as good cooks go, she
went? Well in this case she won't
go,, so I'm afraid you're going to
have to get rid of her. You must
remove her by throwing the salt
which is found in the Torture Room,
situated on the Dungeon Level and
guarded by a red-tunic skeleton.
The vampire needs the old
stake in the heart trick, but you'll
need the hammer from the garden
shed to stick it to her. Once she
has bitten the dust (literally!) you'll
find that what you need to deal with
the hawk. Don't forget to sweep up
the mess left by the vampire - tidy-
ness pays in this case.
As for writing to Atari ST maga¬
zines, you should be ashamed of
yourself. Just imagine the embar¬
rassment if your Mum caught you
reading them.
RBliectlons from The Loom
Having purchased Loom from
Lucasfilms, I have tried everything
to get into The Guild Of Black¬
smiths. I have found the following
spells: Opening, Emptying, Dyeing,
Night Vision, Straw into Gold,
Twisting, Invisibility, Terror, Sharp¬
ening, Sleep, Healing and Tran¬
scendence. I think I need the
Reflection spell, so please tell me
where to find it.
N. Newing, Brighton
You are correct that you need the
Reflection spell and I'm not sur¬
prised that you didn't find it. Being
extremely ugly, humans subcon¬
sciously avoid looking at mirrors
and reflecting surfaces. You won't
be surprised to hear that / found it
straightaway!
Once you have terrorised the
dragon (you unkind brat), you wi!l
enter the series of caves which
leads to the edge of a pool of
water.
Look closely at the pool and it
will reveal the reflection spell. I got
so close that I actually fell in the
pool twice, but then you can't get
enough of a good thing.
Tahe notes irem the Boggit s
worHbench
/ need some of your super advice
and I cannot think of anyone else
to turn to (Grovel, Grovel).
The problem starts when I try
to save my work on my Amiga.
After slogging my guts out writing
up a report using the Notepad Icon,
I decided to save my work, so I
went to the menu and selected
Save. At that point the message
comes up: Workbench 1.3 is write
protected. / then placed a blank
disk in dfO: and in df1: but then a
message came up: Replace Work¬
bench 1.3 into any disk drive, even
though Workbench 1.3 is in the
internal disk drive. I have tried
everything and don't know what to
do.
G. Toovey (W. Ham Supporter)
My advice is that you should sell
your Amiga, buy an Atari ST and
transfer to Millwall.
After all the time and effort our
beloved editor spent giving these
scrolls a real adventure atmo¬
sphere, you write in with a Work¬
bench query! I thought the nuts
with the arcade game questions
were bad enough. It's not as if it
was a difficult problem either.
The Amiga isn't stupid, it
knows what disk is where. When
you selected Save, it quite rightly
tried to create a Notepad document
on the Workbench disk (that's
where they are saved!). It then told
you that your disk was write pro¬
tected and expected you to move
the little tab so it could continue.
Instead of doing that, you removed
the disk and put two different disks
back in. It then told you to stop
messing about and put the Work¬
bench disk back in. What did you
expect it to do?
If you want your notes to be
stored on another disk I suggest

you save it on the Workbench
disk first then quit from the
Notepad program. Double-click on
the Utilities icon and you will see
•he icon for the document you
saved. Use the mouse to copy the
document from the Workbench to
the disk in df1:. Now delete the
original version on the Workbench
disk by moving it to the Trashcan.
The clever trick which now
happens, is that when you double
click on the document icon on your
new disk, the Notepad program will
automatically run and let you carry
on adding to your document. Let
no other cretin dare to ask a tech¬
nical question again!
See Through the Dungeon mas¬
ter s Illusion
After your incessant ramblings
about how wonderful the FTL
game Dungeon Master is, I have at
great expense expanded my
Amiga and purchased the afore¬
said game, and much as it grieves
me to admit it, you are right It is a
very, very, very good game, but not
without its problems.
I have advanced to Level 8
and ran around the Great Hall
where I have been bombed and
attacked by skeletons, but at last
found two keys - neither of which
is the RA key to get me into the
chamber upstairs. I have found the
doors which the keys open and I
have been up and down the stairs
till I'm knackered.
At the bottom of one long stair¬
case is a symbol on the wall, and
at the bottom of the other is a sign
which says: When is a rock not a
rock? Think on Boggit - if you
don't help me I won't renew my
subscription.
A Hatter, Bucks
If you don't renew your subscrip¬
tion, you won't be able to write long
rambling pages of rubbish to me
and I won't have to read them!
First stop worrying about find¬
ing the RA key, that's miles below
you. The long flight of stairs with
the wing symbol at the bottom
requires the winged key to open it,
and you can forget about that as
well. Your first problem is realising
that a rock isn't a rock when it's an
illusion. One of those walls can be
walked through.
However I will ruin your day by
telling you that what is waiting for
you on the other side of the wall will
make you wish you hadn't got out
of bed.
Dungeon Quest Help sought
Enclosed is an 'almost' complete

game is advertised as 'The Ulti¬

PAH! The game has no sense
and definitely ho parser. I have
played many adventures and this

have fallen at the final hurdle due
to a lack of communication within

cast a really nasty Boggit spell at

As you almost sent me a complete
solution, I decided to almost send
you another present. As it is, I now
have to solve the problem for you. I
haven't played the game myself,
but when I contacted the Witch who
lives on the Hill, she gave me the

Before you go dashing off into the darkness of Mirrorsoft’s Chaos Dungeon, take Bog-
git's advice and go searching for the two super heroes hidden behind the illusion walls
(preferably a strong wizard) to
blast a path through the monster
guards, but don't dally because
there are time locks set to seal
the super-heroes in their cells
forever.
Finding the secret corridors
is easy. Having selected some¬
one from the main prison, head¬
butt your way along the walls
until you fall through. Once
through a wall there are no fur¬
ther tricks, just a short way to a
staircase. There are two of these
entrances from the main area,
one round the corner from the
hero Mantia and the other near
the Aztec warrior. Of course
there Is the small problem of the
two rooms filled with rock mon¬
sters and Mummies who are
guarding the heroes, but for
someone as smart as you - no
problem!
H aving guided your heroes to
victory in Dungeon Master
you might think that it's only fair
that the same team deserve to go
fonrt^ard with you into the Chaos
Dungeon, but think again. The
one criticism which could be lev¬
eled at Chaos Strikes Back is that
imported heroes can be too
strong for the local monsters. To
get the best out of the game I
suggest that you visit the Chaos
Prison and select afresh. Look
closely at the men who are on
offer, but don't select too quickly
for in these dim corridors the evil
Lord has a surprise up his cloak.
Behind Illusion walls are hid¬
den further rooms filled with mon¬
sters guarding additional fighters.
There are two super-heroes to be
found and they are worth the
seeking. You must select at least
one hero from the main prison
CAPTIVE CORAEi
W ater, water everywhere
and not a drop to drink.
Unlike the Dungeon Master
heroes, Captive's droids don't
need to drink water to keep their
strength up but they can find
other uses for it. Water dam¬
ages electrical equipment (ask
any Atari user who has played
arcade games in the bath!) and
this fact can be used to your
advantage.
Scattered around inside the
bases are water hydrants which
can be used to flood surrounding
area, penning the small metal
droids into corners where you
can pick them off with distance
weapons.
Of course while your team of
droids Is operating in the stuff
they are damaging their own
feet, so buying each of them a
pair of cheap human feet which
they can slip on while paddling Is
a wise Investment.
You will also find to your hor¬
ror that any shop which has
water In front of the counter
poses an extra problem. The
second you hand over your chest
for recharging, the water damag¬
ing your feet weakens you so
much that all your bits fall off.
Ouch! -
Your best bet in this case is
to switch on your Anti-grav and do
your shopping while standing on

can come round to my tree-house
whenever you are ready.
The bad news is that the
codes you are seeking cannot be
found in the game. They are given
in the booklet which is bought with
the disk. This is the anti-piracy
protection to stop naughty spies
smuggling decadent, western soft¬
ware through the Berlin Wall
wrapped in Levi jeans.
For all you good little capital¬
ists out there who are also stuck, I
will explain that the key will drop to
the floor when you play a cas¬
sette which shatters the crystal.
The music comes from recording a
record in the music room. The bad
news is that the record is found

Although during World
War I the combat plane
was relatively neglected
from battle its military
capabilities were never
forgotten. During that par¬
ticular time (1914-1918)
the aeroplane was mainly
used for reconnaissance
and bombing runs by both
the Allies and the Axis
although neither of these tactics
were successful enough to change
the tide of the war.
Bombing runs were extremely
dangerous and often resulted in
pilots deaths due to heavy flak
attack and more commonly lack of
navigation. Therefore, like the tank,
the aeroplane’s use was limited
and short lived. Actual aerial
encounters were extremely rare but
most were messy and hardly as
glorious as the reports submitted to
the public and the war cabinet of
that time.
complexity and variety of mission was ft/
's strong point. Not only were you require
} out enemy MiGs, bumiso you had to dot
f formations, trains amf boats as well as
Ever since the Amiga’s release to
the public, flight simulators have
featured heavily and none more
than those set within a combat
environment. The first combat sim¬
ulator was Interceptor from Elec¬
tronic Arts and was hailed as the
state of the art in computer simula¬
tion. Interceptor set the standard
that other flight games would fol¬
low.
Many simulators appeared
thereafter but none really stole the
limelight in the way that Falcon
from Spectrum Holobyte did. The
result of years of research. Falcon
was bigger, better and more realis¬
tic than Interceptor and the sales
were unbelievable. Presentation
was superb and the graphics
amazing with smooth 3D that
enhanced the feeling of realism.
Nothing this complex had been
tackled before and the result was a
massive success. Falcon would
hold the number one position for
some time to come.
Lucasfilm adopted a different
approach and decided to tackle
World war II with Battlehawks 1942
The
con's strong point. Not
take
tank formations,
accomplish the customa
and Battle of Britain. The back¬
ground material was easily acces¬
sible and the historical events
already laid out for them to take.
Battlehawks simulated the Battle of
Midway and the overall feeling was
one of sheer excellence.
The sound effects, graphics
and presentation were first class
and the realism had been taken a
step forward. As with Falcon and
After the war, interest in the
aeroplane as a fighting machine
faded and development turned.
The plane was now seen as a
means of public transport. This
became the more popular role and
is where the aeroplane excelled
above any other form of transport.
With the rise of Hitler and the
imminent troubles that lay ahead,
the aeroplane was to take on the
role of a military weapon once
again. The Nazis' Luftwaffe air
force was a formidable fighting unit
and its pure strength was to be dis¬
played to the entire world with the
Blitzkreig of Poland which was to
be quick and very decisive. Stuka
dive bombers cleared the way for
the invasion force while Messer-
schmitts took out the feeble Polish
airforce.
Eventually the World was
thrown into a terrible World War, a
fate that could never have hap¬
pened again after World War I. For
the aeroplane, the war was a great
success and it now adopted a pre¬
dominant role that was to shape
the outcome of events.
The first real aerial conflict took
place above the South of England
in a battle etched into the hearts of
those who were there at that time,
the Battle of Britain. Most of the
action took place during the
months of July to September in
1940 and it was at this time of the
war that the most intensive aerial
campaign ever was staged.
The RAF took to the skies in
order to intercept the German
Bomber formations and their fighter
escort. The skies were a mish
mash of aeroplanes, some falling,
others exploding. Those that made
it back were the lucky ones.
Two fighter planes emerged as
the most creditable of the conquest
and these were the Supamarine
Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109.
Both were fighters and both were
closely matched in speed, arma¬
ment and manoeuvrability. Unfortu¬
nately for the Luftwaffe, the Spitfire
took the edge and the result of the
battle rested heavily on its suc¬
cesses. The importance of the
aeroplane had now been fully
recognised.
After the Battle of Britain, aerial
conflicts were so numerous that
none really stood out against oth¬
ers, except one and this was the
Battle of Midway which took place
over the sea. After World War II the
plane became the jet fighter, faster
and much more deadly. The future
for the fighter was now secure.

Interceptor, the planes of that day
didn’t come with radar and laser-
guided missiles. A machine gun
was the weapon of the day and
you had to be up close to use it.
This difference in tactics became
the major attraction of Battlehawks
1942 and the Battle of Britain.
The next simulation to take the
stage was F-16 Combat Pilot from
masters of simulation. Digital Inte¬
Although the majority of the game revolves around the Spitfire and FI6 tackled night flying in a very serious way and instead of just
Messerschmitt, Battle of Britain also includes the bombers. darkening the sky they incorporated an infra-red heads-up-display.
gration. Although at first heralded
as one of the best, F-16 failed to
get the acclaim it so rightly
deserved.
This was pure simulation, more
so than Falcon, and therefore many
could not handle the plane and
interest waned. Features included
an Amiga to Amiga link, also
included with Falcon, and night fly¬
ing which had never been tackled
before and which enhanced the
game’s overall appeal tenfold.
Comparing Falcon and F-16 Com¬
bat Pilot now it is obvious that F-16
is the superior of the two. How
unfortunate it was that this excel¬
lent product missed the glory.
With Fighter Bomber and MiG-
29 now available, the choice for the
Amiga flying ace is one of confu¬
sion. Falcon is the obvious choice
and deserves acclaim. But spare a
thought for three products that
have made more impact on flight
simulation on the Amiga than any
other. What are these three? Test
fly Battlehawks 1942, Battle of
Britain and F-16 Combat Pilot.
They are definitely the best of all
simulators although F-16 may
prove just too hard to land. Shame!
FI6 Combat Pilot,
being more true to
simulation, suf¬
fered from one
major upset - it
was very difficult
to land the plane
after each mis¬
sion. This turned a
lot of players
away from the
game. Otherwise,
F-16 is probably
the best sim ever
on the Amiga.

1 1) F-16 COMBAT PILOT:
! Complex HUD with night vision.
2) FALCON: HUD with excel¬
lent weapons ranging.
3) MIG-29 FULCRUM: Basic
HUD that isn’t very clear at all.
HUD is in fact short for Heads Up Display. The HUD
is a computer controlled targeting and navigation sys¬
tem that is beamed into a computer screen in front of
the pilot. Looking at the HUD will inform the pilot of
everything he needs to know about the condition of
his aircraft, his present course and his targeting con¬
dition. When he intercepts an enemy craft the HUD
system automatically finds the target and locks onto
it. The missiles follow this lock when fired. The HUD
is effectively a co-pilot. If the HUD is destroyed
through combat or malfunction then the pilot can
always resort to his main instrument panel.
Obviously, a pilot would be pretty
blind if the only view he had of
his world was the view to the
front of the cockpit. Therefore
most simulators incorporate left,
right and rear views so that you
can watch out for enemy craft or
incoming*" missiles. With each
new simulation, the views
change somewhat in detail
although F-16 Combat Pilot and
Falcon are very similar due to the
planes being almost the same.
Unfortunately, MiG-29 does not
have the cockpit diagram when
looking left, right and back and this
does effect the realism consider¬
ably. With F-16 and Falcon, the left
view contains the throttle control
and secondary instrument panel
while the right contains the warn¬
ing indicators and bearing capsule.
The only information a Spitfire pilot
had was contained in the main
cockpit display but the rear view
mirror was very useful to keep an
eye out for incoming Messer-
schmitts. The bomber views from
Battle of Britain are fairly numer¬
ous. As well as the front, left,
right and rear views their are also
the gunner seats. Obviously, the
number of gunner positions
depends on the type of bomber
being flown but most contain a
nose, left, right and tail seat.
The most important view of
the bomber is the bomb bay win¬
dow. From here the bombadier
can tell when and where to drop
his bombs.

F-16 COMBAT PILOT

MIG-29 FULCRUM
BATTLE OF BRITAIN
The first thing any Amiga pilot wants to dabble
in is the combat situation. He doesn’t care how
to fly his bird at first but just wants to take out
an enemy craft. For the recent aeroplanes, like
Falcon and F-16 the task of jumping in at the
deep end is a little more difficult as you need to
become acquainted with the HUD.
Once you understand this important sys¬
tem of your plane you will get to grips with the
dynamics of combat. Your main directives are
to seek out the enemy, lock onto them, destroy
them and then get the hell out of there. Howev-
_Leading edge flap
Before you can take your bird up you will need to become
familiar with all the aspects of flying. It is alright taking
off without being fully accustomed to the aerodynamics
of the plane you are in but you’ll soon find yourself in
trouble when it comes to landing safely.

er, the missiles of modern day fighters are
extremely fast and very accurate. Even if you
do m anage to take out the enemy you may
find yourself losing your HUD, landing gears,
weapons stores or any other multitude of
things.
With the World War II planes combat is
easier to master but harder to fulfill. You can’t
lock on a missile from 10 miles away .and be
guaranteed of a sure hit. To make a success¬
ful kill you’ve got to get right up to the enemy
and blast their plane away with a cannon.
Regularly, you will find yourself running
out of ammo and becoming the target of
enemy venom. Combat with the modern jets is
fairly quick and clean but the dogfights of
World War II could last for ages.
There are many combat manoeuvers
to be learnt and each one should be
practised. Here we see the scissors
approach in action. The enemy
twists and turns but the F’16 turns
Into his opponent’s evasive actions
and bears down on his prey.
Suiting
The essential part of flying is learning how to control
your plane. Remember, if you climb too high and hold
your course then your speed will drop and you may stall.

The key to your briefing is learning to use the icons correctly. From the main briefing
screen you will have the options to change your plane and select the weapons you
wish to load your bird up with. As well as the weapons you can also change your way-
points. Waypoints are your ticket to your destinations. They are plotted lines between
several points. These are loaded up into the jet’s computer fly-by-wire system which
then instructs the pilot of the next waypoint bearing and ETA. Any mission intelligence
is open to you and this information gathered by clicking on the I icon. New reports and
any hints of sighted enemy activity will be shown to you. General intelligence consists
of information about the actual and the kind of terrain you will be travelling across. If
you are not to keen on your mission then you can^ change it and you also have the
opportinity the change plane types. Once you are happy with your choices you can
select the briefing and then ok at which point you will be taken to your plane.
You realise that you are on a colli¬
sion heading. If you are to win this
confrontation you’ll need to main¬
tain concentration and fly like never
before. The range decreases. He
gets his shot off first and you feel
cannon shells bouncing off the
wings. Performing the same
actions, you press on the cannon
switch and release a burst of bul¬
lets which dance across his plane
before tearing into the cockpit. The
enemy plane turns away just in
time and then dives to the sea. The
mission is over and you are still
alive. Your pride has been dented
but you survived and that’s what
counts.
And that’s what it’s all about.
Flight of the Intruder not only fea¬
tures the Intruder but the Phantom
as well and both have been repre¬
sented in glorious 3D.
You sign on at the log screen
where you are placed as a rookie
although this can be changed if you
think you can handle the harder
missions. From here you will be
given a mission briefing and the
option to arm your plane and set
waypoints for the mission ahead.
The plane can be handled
through mouse and joystick
although mouse is a little over
responsive. The forward, left, right
and back views have all been
included as well as forwards left
and right and back left and right
which gives a greater field of vision.
External views are also available.
There are several different mis¬
sions to choose from and each
includes fighter interception as well
as bombing runs. The
Intruder is used pri¬
marily for fighter
interception and
the Phantom for bombing mis¬
sions although both are flexible in
each other’s scenarios.
If you complete your mission
successfully you must return to
base where your record will be
updated and any medals pinned to
your chest. Your record is the key
to your advancement.
As you become more proficient
in your missions and you rise in
rank the harder the mission will
become. The realism factor will
also change and you will not be
able to land at a 45 degree angle
so you will need to be careful.
As with all good simulations an
Amiga to Amiga
link has also been
included which is
great fun. What
more could you
want?

hi. t
The Fun levels are really easy to beat and don’t pose many problems, but when you try the
Mayhem levels you get quite a shock. Here we see the lemmings falling to their death as
soon as they enter the level. What can you do?
Some games rely on a two player mode to make them enjoyable. Even though Lemmings
has one, the one player mode is more than enough.
Aaah! Lemmings
are such cute little
animals. Even
though they are
related to creatures
such as rats which,
are usually feared by even the
toughest among us, they are
viewed in a totally different concept.
But as lovable as these creatures
may be, they aren’t too bright. Each
year they all jog down to a handy
rock and hurl themselves off, usual¬
ly to their deaths.
Well, rfow’s your chance to
save these rodents thanks to ttie
genius of DMA Design. They were
the people responsible for the
amazing Blood Money which still
ranks high in the shoot’em-up
charts today.
The idea is to
prevent the suicidal
rodents from walking
into some cruel trap or
falling to their death from a
high mountain peak. However,
stopping them isn’t that easy
because you can’t actually control
them directly. They simply walk
around, only changing direction if
something is in their way.
All you have to help them find
their way to the exit tunnel and
safety is a set of skills that you can
bestow on them. There are eight
different skills in all, each enabling
a lemming to do a particular thing
to help get his friends to the exit
tunnel.
Their are four difficulty levels to
choose from which start off at Fun
(easy) and end up with Mayhem
(very hard). Their are 30 games in
each difficulty level making a total
of 120 in all. Once a level is beaten
you are given a code so that you
don’t have to play it again if you
don’t want to.
Although you wouldn’t think so
at first the pause is
an important part of
the game. It enables you
to stop the action and view
the level at any point so you
can work out what course you
should be taking or what traps to
avoid.
Traps are many
in the various
levels of Lem¬
mings and If you
don’t keep a
careful watch on
things you’ll find
that your lem¬
ming population
will dwindle
quickly as they
walk straight into
the simplest trap.

with an umbrella

When we reviewed Chip’s Challenge last
issue we thought that it wouid be a iong
time before anything would top it. But Lem¬
mings has accomplished that task. It is
absolutely amazing while being very origi¬
nal. It reminds me of the sort of addictive
games that we used to play on the C64. The
sound is good and adds a lot of humour,
while the graphics, although not top quality,
work very well and are more than adequate.
Whatever type of game you enjoy you’ll
enjoy Lemmings, totally amazing.

And even when (or if) you’ve
beaten all the 120 levels there’s
still more to the game. If you wish
you can play against a friend in a
head to head battle. Here the
gameplay changes dramatically as
you try to save your lemmings from
doom as usual, but at the same
time you must try to sabotage your
opponent’s lemmings.
The game is totally icon driven
with only the mouse needed to play
it. It does get very tough and the
quicker you are with the mouse the
better. Save your
lemmings from
destruction. If you
don’t they will be
nuked right in front
of your eyes!
OVERALL
SCO RE
A map in the bottom right hand corner of the screen lets you know what’s happening in
other parts of the level that you can’t see. Very handy!
Pro Tennis Tour
has been around
for some time and
has a reputation for
being a worthy ten¬
nis simulator. The
sequel, named, erm. Pro Tennis
Tour 2, has appeared from UBI
Soft and it expands on the original
somewhat.
Before you even pick up the
racquet and pretend to play your
favourite song on an electric guitar
you can adjust the settings of your
game. Do you want to play on
grass, concrete or clay? Male or
Female players? Just one set or an
entire tournament?
You may either play all on your
own (Oooer) or invite your mates
around and using a joystick
adapter have up to four playing at
the same time (Oooer again). If
you know someone who is a loud¬
mouthed yob and claims to be
twice as good as everybody else
you can make them prove it by
arranging a two against one match.
As well as altering the sex of
the players you can also adjust the
characteristics of each individual.
Forehand, backhand, power, ser¬
vices and underwear can all be
changed to suit your playing style.
Practice will increase your ratings
with every shot that you make
taken in to consideration. And
when you switch off your computer
does all your hard work go down
the lavy? No, you can save your
best players on to a disk allowing
you to return to
them the next time
you play.
The action starts
when you step on to the
court; The crowd starts to
shout your name before you
have even hit the ball (in your
dreams!). Serving is achieved by
positioning a target where you want
the ball to land and then hitting the
fire button. If the other player
cheats and manages to return one
of your shots you must quickly
intercept the ball.
By moving the joystick in the
appropriate direction you can direct
your hits. Success at these fancy
shots vary with the skills of each
player - an experienced player will
be able to influence each shot more
than somebody who has never
picked up a racquet
before.
Gaining the
privilege to hold the gold¬
en cup aloft as the crowd
loudly applaude will take split
second timing and fast thinking.
For the winner there is glory for
the loser there is
only death! Actua!-
ly that !ast bit is a
fib but it made the
finishing paragraph
more exciting!

Pro Tennis Tour 2 isn’t radicaiiy different
from the other games of the same genre, but
it does add more options. The animation on
the characters is exempiary and in generai

weakest part of the game but is stili ade¬
quate. The piethora of options is amazing -
I can’t think of anything that has been
missed. Whether you fancy just hitting the

some practice in for Wimbtedon, this is the
game for you.

Just one of the many options screens. You
can adjust the skiiis of each piayer to suit
your individual playing style. If you think
you have got a future champion you can
save the player to disk for future games.
After selecting a basic character you can
build up your skills using the training
mode. The machine can be programmed to
set up the type of shot that you want to
practice or can be set on random.
By using an adapter you can have upto four
players on the court. Team work and coor¬

tory and the losers can have a good argu¬

Talk about clones! But even though it is a
copy of Narc, it is slightly better than the
Ocean game. Here you see Luke taking his
rocket launcher for a walk in the city’s ghetto.
Most of the scenery in the game can be used
as a shield against the enemy’s fire, but on
the other hand you can blow it away and
sometimes unveil hidden extras.
Things had been
getting bad in the
city these last few
months. Even
when Luke was in
the force himself
drugs and crime had
been a problem, but
never to this extent.
Organised crime had
risen dramatically, and
it all seemed to lead
back to one man - the
King Pin. But he was
clever and made sure that
he kept a safe distance
from the men that did his
dirty work.
It was early morning, and Luke
had just risen from bed after a late
night. He grabbed some food from
the fridge and turned on the news.
His attention was soon caught by a
a news flash. The King Pin had kid¬
napped the President’s daughter.
This was the final straw. It was time
for Luke McCabe to go vigilante.
Crime Wave is a good old
shoot’em-up where you shoot at
anything that moves, and if it
doesn’t move you shoot it until it
does. The game is a very close
clone to the arcade game Narc,
and previously released by Ocean
(reviewed last issue).
Playing the part of Luke
McCabe, a man who has decided
to take the law into his own hands,
you must attempt to put a stop to
the crime boss - the King Pin. This
mission will take Luke through a
selection of the city’s poorer areas,
and within these suburbs are drug
factories filled to the brim with the
King Pin’s men, all with the orders
“Shoot to kill".
However, Luke is not totally
defenceless. When he starts off he
is equipped with a gun and an
awesome rocket launcher to deal
with the gangs of criminals. Both
weapons can be controlled with a
joystick by holding down the fire-
button for a certain amount of time
(a quick press for the rockets, a
long one for the machine gun).
But as powerful as these
weapons are they don’t last forever
and you’ll need to collect extra
ammo as you go along. This is
made slightly easier by special
bonus rooms that can be found on
some levels. Inside these rooms is
a large supply of ammo for both
weapons, as well
a load of money
and drugs that will
increase your
score when col¬
lected.

CRIME WAVE
U.S.G0UI £24.99
TEAM: ACCESS
We reviewed Narc last month, and wonder
why anyone would want to bring out a simi¬
lar game. But even though Crime Wave isn’t
that brilliant, it is siightiy better than Narc.
The controls are hard to contend with and
don’t improve as you get used to them. The
game stows down when you start pumping
butlets out ieft right and centre. The game-
play itself isn’t that great, and I found that I
could do almost as well when I walked
through a level without bothering to fire the
gun once. Not a game I wouid recommend.

(Left inset) Combining both
strategy and arcade ele¬
ments. the full game has
nine different scenarios to
conquer. On top of this, you
can also create your own
game using the scenario
editor supplied.
(Main picture) The depths of space provide the perfect battle ground. Star Control fea¬
tures 14 ships to pilot, each with its own special ability and differing statistics.
The Ur-Quan Hier¬
archy, an ancient
race who are the
ancestors of the
Ur-Quan slaves
and their minions,
are about to attack the Alliance of
Free Star, the result being total
annihilation in favour of the Ur-
Quans.
Although the Alliance have
been trying to negotiate with the
Hierarchy, all attempts have been
ignored to the point that three rep¬
resentatives were slain at a series
of talks. If the Hierarchy were to
succeed in overthrowing the
Alliance, the triumph would be dis¬
astrous.
It appears the Alliance have
come to us for help, and if we don’t
help them the Hierarchy could easi¬
ly crush us underfoot when the
time is right. We must act with
aggression, we must act now.
Star Control is basically a
game of starship combat. There
are two sides, the Hierarchy and
the Alliance, each with a total of
seven different ships at their dis¬
posal. Each ship has its own spe¬
cial power, and this can be any¬
thing from regenerating the crew to
engaging a cloaking device.
Star Control requires 1 meg to
run, and can be controlled through
either joystick or keyboard. There
are three modes to play: practice,
melee or full battle. The practice is
a simple one-on-one battle
between two ships of your choice.
You can choose to play against a
friend or the computer. A melee
places you in control of the seven
ships that make up the Alliance or
Ur-Quan, the aim being to be the
last survivor.
The full game is a battle of
strategy and arcade. The computer
can aid you here, because if you
select a Cyborg as your control, the
computer will fight your battles.
Choose a Psytron and the comput¬
er will choose your tactics. There is
a selection of missions to under¬
take, but most require the total
destruction of the enemy side. Nor¬
mally you’ll begin with a small num¬
ber of ships in your battalion, but
using your star
base, you can
build more, provid¬
ing you have the
materials and
enough Starbucks!

TEMliFIIEDFOIID

To look at Star Control you wouldn’t think \
that it would require 1 meg but sadly it
does. The gameplay is addictive, but does
tend to become repetitive after numerous
battles. The option to use computer aid in
both battles and tactics is excellent, and so
Is the Inclusion of the scenario editor. The
graphics are eye-catching, and the sound,
most of which is sampled, is also of an
equally high standard. With all this said.
Star Control is a brilliant game to begin
with but unfortunatley tends to lose its
appeal after a while due to lack of variation
in the levels.

The edit program contained on the Hard Drivin’ li program disk is
extremely powerful if a little user unfriendly. The pieces are picked
from the selection box which displays each segment or object in
true 3D. By clicking on ‘Take It’, the piece is placed onto the track.
All further pieces join onto the last one. There are several different
portions of track including curves, banked curves, junctions,
straights, loops, bridges and dips. The objects include cows, start
grids, finishing posts, houses, barns and signposts. Once a track
has been created it can be saved and used later on.
Hard Drivin’ took
the Amiga games
scene by storm
and many were
amazed that the
arcade conversion
was ever written. Featuring full 3D
graphics with reality perspective, it
became the number one arcade
conversion of 1990. Unfortunately,
it did suffer from a lack of speed
and the control method was very
awkward and unresponsive.
With the advent of Hard Drivin’
li, all this has been changed. The
graphics are still in
glorious 3D but the
speed has been
improved and the
overall feel is one of
greater realism.
Once again, you must
leap into your sporty car and
take on some of the best stunt
drivers around. The task will not be
easy and each of the four courses
will require total concentration and
skill if you are to be successful.
As soon as your car is lowered
to the road the race begins. All
your opponents tear away from the
start position and as you press
hard on the accelerator your car
also skids away from the grid. The
first segment of the
track is a long straight that gives all
the cars time to accelerate to full
speed. This is the best time to
overtake and you swiftly pass three
of the opposition but as you are
about to take the fourth the road
splits into two paths. One leads to
the speed track, the other to the
stunt section.
Avoiding the stunt track for as
long as possible you decide to
enter the speed section of the
course. Once again the road
straightens and your vehicle hits
lOOmph. The barriers forewarn of
the impending banked curve and
you ease back on the throttle. As
you hit the curve the world outside
rotates to 90 degrees and you feel
as if the car is going
to topple over but
you manage to keep
•your control.
Straight from
the speed track you decide
to enter the stunt race. You
know of the hazards but have
never actually attempted the
stunt segments yourself. The draw¬
bridge is pretty easy and the car
floats over the gap and lands safely
on the other side without a scratch.
But before you can congratulate
yourself you see the massive struc¬
ture - the loop the loop. Gritting
your teeth you hope for the best.
The car slams into the loop and
there is a terrific crunch as every¬
thing around you becomes a blur.
You try desperately to keep to the
centre lane markings but just as
you begin to hit the straight on the
other side the car flips out and you
lose control before ditching it on the
embankment. Gathering your sens¬
es you wipe the visor and glance at
the clock. 3...2...1 ...0... The race is
over for you but with a little more
practice who knows? You may
even get a chance at racing the
Photon Phantom.
You can edit your own tracks.
Pieces are taken from the stores
and slotted into each other. You
can choose curves, straights,
bridges, crossovers, hills, barns
and loop the loops. Once you have
created the design
you must place the
start, end and
checkpoint on the
track as well as the
other cars.
DRAWBRIDGE: Probably tbe
hardest of all slunts. Make
sure you pay strict attention
to the speed signs.
You can make your tracks as hard or as sinh
pie as you like with all the different track
sections available. The simple ones range

The graphics and the controls of Hard Driv¬
in’ were siow and unresponsive. Fortunateiy,
ali this has been rectified with the sequei
and is therefore very enjoyable. The graph¬
ics are of a very high standard and move
fast considering aii the detaii that is being
moved in 3D. Sound is a littie iack iuster
and is more iike an ST than an Amiga which
is not a reai disappointment, i think the only
real problem with the game is the fact that
there is a severe iack of new ideas which
may put off owners of the originai game.

^JAGE 1: The first loop is com¬
pleted and a bridge is placed.
STAGE 2: The first straight
appears right after the bridge.
STAGE 3: The first two stages
are replicated on the other side
of the track.
STAGE 4: All that is left is a hill
which joins the ends together.
HILL: The hill is the largest
section of track and although
it looks easy to take if you hit
it too fast you will crash.
UNDERPASS: Take the under¬
pass too fast and your car will
take off and come down nose
first. Attempt the underpass at
a reasonable speed.
CROSSOVER: If another car is
about to use the crossover at
the moment you are then pre¬
pare yourself for impact.
■^f^long hills, underpasses, straights,
^ b^s and tight junctions while the complex
'^f^pde bridges and the large loop the loop.
When taking the bridge you must make
certain that you keep to the speed restric¬
tion warnings otherwise you will crash.
Although pretty ominious visually, the
banked curve is fairly simple to pass
across. Your main worry is the other cars.
Of all the stunt hazards the hardest to
negotiate is the loop. It requires great skill
as it actually twists while it is looping.
As well as the segment sections there are also objects which can be used to smarten up the completed track and add more realism. A
barn or house can make a lot of difference as can an overpass. Certain objects are essential such as the start and finish light. Without
these you could be travelling around the track forever. Who knows? You may even bump into one of the farmers prize cows. Mooo!

therefore prove no problem when overtak¬

OUT TO CATCH YOUR OPPOHEHT: DRIVE HARDER COIRPO
\
A M I Q A
SHOOT 'EM-UP
The Resistance are
about to mount a
major offensive
against the Empire.
Several starships
have been cap¬
tured and the Resistance intend to
use these to attack vital Empire
installations. But as the ships lack
essential Klystron power pods,
they are effectively useless.
Using a small and lightly armed
ship you must attempt to steal the
vital Klystron pods from Empire
storage planets. A tractor beam
mounted on the ship will enable
you to hook up to the power pods
and then take them to the Resis¬
tance.
Your ship materialises above
the storage planet you are about to
explore and immediately nature
starts to make life difficult - gravi¬
ty continuously drags your
ship toward the
ground. I
the
thrusters on your ship you can
counter this force, allowing you to
stay airborne. Rotating your ship
will give you movement, allowing
you to explore the planet for the
elusive Klystron pods.
The first levels are straightfor¬
ward, allowing you to get used to
the craft, but after the initial period
of respite things get really tough.
Precise control is required when
navigating the underground cav¬
erns. When the Empire start using
their laser cannons to eliminate you
not only do you have to be exact
with your controls but you have to
think fast to avoid the deadly bolts
of energy.
For the defence of your ship it
is provided with a plasma blaster. It
is also equipped with a laser scan¬
ner. This will scan a laser in front of
you, destroying everything it
touches. Rotating
your ship while
activating the laser
will destroy any
objects in the vicinity.
The drawback is that each
weapon uses up more of
your fuel and when that
runs out gravity will win.
Collecting the Klystron pods is
your main objective. Once you
have located a pod you should
hover above it. Then when you
activate the tractor beam it will rise
toward you until it touches your
ship and is locked on via a towing
cord. All you have to do then is
return to the Resistance mother-
ship. This isn’t as easy as it
sounds. The newly found power
pod weighs your ship down and
swings about like a pendulum mak¬
ing control even trickier.
After finding the Klystron pod
you must move on to the next plan¬
et and an even tougher challenge.
Success will mean that the Resis¬
tance will be able to launch a sur¬
prise attack on the
Empire command
centre, therefore
gaining an insur¬
mountable advan¬
tage on the enemy.
The Empire has scattered the Klystron
throughout the galaxy. Having ventured
down a dead end you are now being threat¬
ened by a battery of three laser turrets.
ACTION INFO
ZARATHRUSTA
HEWSON £24.99
TEAM; WHIZ KIDZ
Zarathrusta will bring tears to the eyes of
seasoned gamers as they remember the
good old days long ago, when they stayed
up all night playing Thrust. Like Olds, from
not too many moons ago, Zarathrusta
draws its inspiration from this golden
oldie. Keeping your craft from touching the
ground while trying to manoeuver inside
the caverns and avoiding the enemy lasers
is very hard. You will spend a lot of the
time as a ball of flame. Unless you are a
fan of Thrust or Oids I recommend that you
try this one before you buy.
The lack of obstacles and opposition on the first level allows you to get used to the con¬
trol system. Using thpf^usters on your ship you must manoeuver close to the tower and
then collect the capsule resting on top with your factor beam.
1) YOUR SHIP: The fastest
ship in the whole galaxy.
Well actually I’m lying, it’s a
flying dustbin.
2) SCORE SO FAR: At the
moment it’s pretty crap, but
that’s because I’m not using a
cheat mode.
3) FUEL LEFT: Keep an eye
on this, especially with the
price of petrol going up, up,
up.
4) SHIPS LEFT: Things are
looking pretty sorry, four
ships are already on the
scrap heap.
5) LASER TURRET: These
guys have got to fulfil their
bodycount quota and you’re
next on the list.
6} REACTOR VENTS: At ran¬
dom intervals these will blast
out flames and fry anything
nearby.
7) PNUEMATIC RAMS: These
wait for ships to stray close
by then crunch them into little
pieces.
8) STORAGE TANKS: These
can be plundered for extra
fuel, very handy if you are fly¬
ing on fumes.
The Electro Ball can be used as an effec¬
tive shield or weapon as it destroys
everything on contact. There is a draw¬
back though - as the ball rotates its
weight pulls your ship with it making
control of your craft much harder.

Flight Of The Intruder takes you into the deadliest air combat environment the world has ever known
- the skies above North Vietnam.
In 1972, the USAF launched Operation Linebacker. US forces and their South Vietnamese allies are
locked in a life and death struggle with the fanatical North Vietnamese Army. You must stem the tide
of the North Vietnamese offensive by cutting its vital lifeline to its front line troops.
From the US Carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin on “Yankee Station", you must attack a variety of
installations defended by surface to air missiles and the MiG fighters of the skillful and determined
North Vietnamese Air Force.
Flight
Only team work will get you back alive. The “IRON HAND" flights must destroy or suppress the
surface to air missiles whilst CombaLAir Patrol aircraft circle high above the strike force looking out
trike ai
for enemy aircralL
arms and
it
aircraft must find and attack the target braving a hail of small
at low level. Individual survival is not the only measure of success,
as a whole that counts - there is no place for seekers of individual glory.^

^ ' To keep consistent with previous Amiga Action
competitions, we have decided to offer you an
. .' X amazing prize that defeats all others in greatness.
‘What could possibly be better than the previous
compo prizes?’ I hear you ask.
Well, Mirrorsoft have decided that they will reward the winner of this
month’s compo with 10 flying lessons from their nearest flying school.
r Wow! What more could you want? A Flight of the Intruder T-shirt and free
game of the same name? Greedy beggars. Okay, Mirrorsoft will also provide a
T-shirt and a copy of the game to 10 runners-up just to keep you happy.
Amiga Action has dacicM lb ciit down
and ^come up with someth!^ a little
original and taxing for our readers. As Flight
of the Intruder is the big release this month,
we want you to design a fighter jet of the
future. You don’t need to be a Vincent Van
Gogh just someone with a vivid imagination.
The more realistic the picture the better but
we want you to arm it with weapons.
~~ Unfortunately, that’s not all we want you to ~
do! To the right there are two piccies from
Flight of the Intruder. They may look the same
but picture B is different in 10 ways. Ring the
differences and send it in with your entry form
and drawing. Make sure that your entries con- "

I’ve had loads and loads and loads of people
ringing me up and sending letters pleading
with me for help at the very beginning of Cap¬

Well, the problem really lies in the lack of
information In the instructions really. Every¬
body has managed to get Into the base (even
if they don’t know it) - the room with the dyna¬
mite in it, but no further. All you have to do Is
go right up to the far wall and click the forward
movement with the right mouse button. Hey
presto the wall has been pushed forward.
Enjoy the game.

Although I didn’t like the game much it was quite
popular in the office. However, it is quite tricky
and Jason (a big fan) had quite a few problems
(but then again he’s rubbish at games, only jok¬

here are some codes that D.M.R. of the good
old USA has managed to find: pretty clever con¬
sidering they’re In Spanish, that is I think they
are!

him. Well, not with this cheat it can’t. Have a go at the game and if you get your name on

you play. Thanks very much to S. Lalies of Newport for that lovely jubbly little cheat.
MUNICION: Boost your ammo up to 200.
NOAMETZ#: Turn off the machine guns. Put the
number of the sector where the # is.
NOCAMZ#: Turn back on the machine guns.
Remember the sector number.

A M I Q A|
Mirrorsoft’s Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles seems to be
yHu. gluing one or tuio of vou a hard time bu the number of
letters uie haue receiued pleading for help.
U| on these tuio pages AA haue compiled a list of
uarlous hints and tips that mill mahe your life some¬
what easier, as well as the arrowed screenshots labeling the uarl¬
ous attach patterns of the enemy, sit down and read this compre-
henslue guide before thrashing seuen hells out of the Foot clan.
very few and far between on the
beginning levels, but as they
take four hits to destroy, they are
best left alone. Creatures found
at the beginning of the game are
Bookmen which, on the first hit,
nents you will battle. In the earli¬
er stages of the game, they only
require a single hit and are there¬
fore easy meat. However, the fur¬
ther you progress, the tougher
they get and In greater numbers.
They also carry Shuriken which
they lob every now and then.
Mousers are also simple to
destroy, needing just a singlq hit.
The same applies for the sewer
flies.
Robots that carry guns are
The Turtles
First of all, it is essential to learn
the various weapons that each
of the four turtles carries, as it
will aid you later on in the game.
Donatello is blessed with a
Bo staff, which enables him to
strike opponents before they
can reach him. MichaelAngelo
and Leonardo both have
weapons that can cause dam¬
age at a reasonable distance
but Raphael carries Sais, short
daggers that must be used in
very close combat.
Wherever possible, collect
pizzas that may be scattered
around, even if it means losing a
bar of energy, especially if they
restore all the turtles’ prowess.
Shurikens, although only
found in limited supply, are
handy to use against opponents
such as Bebop and Rocksteady,
who are both deadly in hand-to-
hand combat.
The Foot
This is the Shredder’s band of
elite martial artists, and contains
the most common of the oppo-
freeze for a couple of seconds.
Further hits destroy them.
Bebop and Rocksteady
The first end-of-level guardian
you will meet is Bebop. He
doesn’t use a weapon, but
throws a mighty punch. It is best
to leap Into the air, and land just
behind him. This leaves him
open to attack, and provides the
perfect opportunity. Attack him
and repeat the entire process.
Rocksteady will follow you
into the air when you jump. He
also carries a machine gun. It is
also possible to get behind the
mutant, and sometimes he’ll
even turn his back on you allow¬
ing you to hack away.
The Dam
Protecting the entrance to the
dam is a chainsaw-wielding thug
who is easy to destroy if you
know how. Leap over his head
and onto the ladder behind him.
Standing just above his head
taking care you are not being hit,
swipe low with your sword and
he should soon die.
When deactivating the
bombs, remember time is of the
essence. Avoid the electric
force-fields if you can, but ignore
the odd one or two if time gets
light.
The Party W^gon
Having saved the dam, you
make your way to the surface
where you’ll find your party
wagon. In the nearby house you
oan find a couple of pieces of
pizza to replenish energy, as
well as anti-foot missiles (use
against barriers that block your
path).
The sewers will be entered
for the first time; Stay out of the
water at all costs, as falling in will
result in your capture. Before you
leave this level, you must find the
rope which Is used to climb
across the rooftops later on.
Rescuing Splinter
On top of one of the roofs is
Splinter, being held captive by a
flying robot. The robot follows a
set pattern when flying around
and occasionally drops bombs
at you from above. The best
way to kill this beastie is to
avoid his flight path and stand
just to the side. When he flys
past, slice’n’dice him. It may
take a while but it’s worth it.
Entering the Technodrome
Before you can enter the Techn¬
odrome, you must find the cor¬
rect entrance from three possi¬
ble alternatives.
There are two main
guardians that protect the
Shredder’s battle station. The
large Mouser spits bullets from
its eyes while its head is its
weak spot. The tank trundles on
from the right-hand side of the
screen, stops in the middle for a
second or two then goes off to
the left before repeating the pro¬
cess in the other direction. Elec¬
tricity blasts from the two termi¬
nals on either side, and the
head is its weak spot.
The Shredder
Having battled through count¬
less levels of martial artistry,
you’ll finally come up against the
Shredder. Avoid his shots at all
costs and stay on top of the
ledges. When he jumps up to
attack you, hit him. It is also
possible to hit him when he is
underneath the ledge. Kill him
and victory is yours.

UP until tha early hnurs at the mnming trying to
banish the euii captain orim trnm cartonn Land,
we at Amiga Action haue decided le glue you a
helping hand with your tasK by Cluing The came
Away, but may i say it wasn't easy getting all
these loueiy screen snots, i hardly had any hair
leit alter the 20th leuei.
one of your mam aims should be to
complete the leuei heiore your lime runs out and
the dastardly demon lurbo appears to tahe away
one el your Hues. The Digi-Scapes we haue
Included will help you lind your way around the
llrst tour worlds in the laslesi possible times.
Euen It you don’t manage all the leueis the they
will reiieue your curiosity. The bonus collecting
leueis are not included as they are straighiior-
ward and pose no prohlems.
iWMioiEmiiMiisiie
You shouldn’t have too many problems with this one. Use the early
levels to build up a high score by going for the special bonuses. Any
extra lives that can be gained are also worth chasing.
HIUSES HD KDDS
While speeding around the platforms you will come across some useful and some not so use¬
ful bonuses. So which are worth collecting and which are a waste of petrol?
Smart Bombs, Snowflakes and Metamorphosis are all well worth chasing after and can
mean the difference between completing the level and losing a life. From the rest of the icons
the Gun and Big Bumper are the most useful. When using the gun make sure you have a
clear shot as when you fire while jumping the bullet usually goes astray. As for the other
bonuses, they are helpful but aren’t worth pursuing - let them come to you.
iDiDiUDitsariinisiMi
The nasties are now a little faster and are harder to outrun. Keep an eye
out for the Spiders - being black they blend in with the background very
well and more often than not you don’t notice them until it is too late.

EJECTOR SEAT
This comes out of
the car and destroys
any nasties directly
above you.
SPARE TYRE
These are thrown
from the back of the
car and destroy any
nasties behind you.
OILCAN
Oil is squirted onto
the ground and
makes the baddies
go into a spin.
GUN
This is handy as it
fires an enormous
bullet from the
front of the car.
BIG FEN DA
This enables Amie to
bumb into any nas¬
ties without cause-
ing personal damage.
MORTAR
This is fired from the
top of the car and
explodes when it
hits an enemy.
MUiiaiiEEiiNiariiii
This is where your problems will begin. Making the jumps between
some of the platforms requires split second timing. The bad guys are
more intelligent and tend to home in on your position.
DEPTH CHARGE
This bomb drops from
underneath Amie and
kills any baddies on a
lower platform.
BACKFIRE
The wonky exhaust
produces a chuff of
smoke confusing any
enemies behind.
iUll
STEAM
The jet of steam
finds its way to a
higher platform
killing a nastie.
^ SMART
BOMBS
These destroy all
enemies on the
screen at the time.
^
SNOWFLAKE
This freezes all the
aliens and enables
you to tear around
without a worry.
SPEED TURN
This allows you to
make a speedy
turn at twice the
normal rate.
ALIEN
METAMORPHOSIS
This turns all the horrid aliens into big
bonuses for toads of luvly juviy extra
points, so be sure to nab them.
WORLD FOUR; The Prehistoric floe
Jumping between certain platforms will require you to position yourself
as you may miss the next platform completely. Beware of the Pterodactyl
as it can move around the screen freely without following the platforms.

A M I Qii
Before you start a match you can choose the pitch and
weather conditions to make the game easy or hard. Howev¬
er you can’t do this when playing in the league. You just
have to put up with what you get!
Everyone knows
who Gazza is, or at
least if anyone
doesn’t they must
have been on
another planet for
the last couple of years. Yes,
Gazza’s that lovable soccer star
who cried when he got a yellow
card in the World Cup; been voted
best dressed man of 1990; most
popular sports star; even joined the
countless soap stars and made his
own record. There’s just no stop¬
ping the man.
However, a personalised game
is not a new thing for Gazza. He’s
already had one (Gazza’s Super
Soccer) which we reviewed way
back in issue six, and didn’t like
very much. But with this being the
second attempt at a Gazza game
we should hope to see a better ver¬
sion, and hopefully most of the bad
points ironed out.
In Gazza II you take on the role
of player, manager and coach giv¬
ing you total control over the game.
Using your managerial skills you
can buy and sell players to improve
your team as it competes in league
and International cup matches.
Sending out scouts is up to you as
well, and with your man in the right
place you can pick up some very
talented lads for a relatively small
amount of cash.
But you have to remember
you’re wearing the coach’s shoes
as well and training and tactics will
have to be practiced if your players
Controlling the ball is quite easy in Gazza II. As soon as
your player has touched it, the ball sticks to his feet and
stays there until you are tackled or pass It. From here you
can dribble it up the pitch for a shot at goal.
Unfortunately, the goalie is like the game itself-not very
good. Even the simplest shots are fumbled making the
game extremely frustrating. This lack of intelligence does
spoil the game as it is unrealistic.
are going to ,
work well
together as a
team. Using
the very
user-friend¬
ly icons,
change the
player’s posi¬
tions on the
pitch and their
instructions - follow
the ball, mark a
player and so on.
But if all this
work sounds a bit
daunting,
don’t worry!
If you’re
more of an
arcade freak, you can just simply
play the matches and not have to
worry about running the business
side of things.
The way the matches are
played has changed vastly since
Gazza I and you no longer have to
put up with flick screen scrolling.
The pitch is viewed from an over¬
head position and scrolls with the
ball in eight directions. And of
course you can play against a
friend rather than
taking on the
rather clever com¬
puter sides. A
human opponent
is much more fun.

After playing Gazza Super Soccer it was
pretty safe to say that Gazza it couldn’t be
as bad, but it is only just better. The graph¬
ics are fair but move awkwardly and
unrealistically which tends to detract from
the overall game. The music doesn’t really
fit either. If you thought that Gazza’s record
was bad then wait until you get a load of
this. Companies seem to be pushing out a
lot of footie games recently but these are
just not up to the standard of existing prod¬
ucts which are very popular. Although you
shouldn’t compare this game to games like
Player Manager or Kick Off, you can’t help
but do so while playing it. And even though
it has the buying and selling aspects the
gameplay isn’t even close to the Anco cork¬
er, and you are soon pulling out your hair
in both frustration and despair. I can see
Gazza II falling by the wayside.

In 1155 a baby boy
was born to the
head of the Mongol
tribe, with a clot of
blood in one of his
hands. His name
was Temujin.
His father was head of the
Mongol tribe and was respected by
everybody. He admired his father
very much and strived to be like
him. Then one day his life was
shattered. His father was killed by
a rival and the integrity of the tribe
crumbled. Temujin’s family found
themselves alone in the desolate
lands of the Gobi
desert.
The bereaved
family had to pro¬
vide for them¬
selves and were
left to the mercy of
the forces of
nature. But
Temujin was strong and even
though he was still young he led
his family back to prosperity and
beyond. He united the separate
tribes and became their leader,
succeeding in building the greatest
empire that the world has ever
known. Temujin was presented, by
his people, with the title of
Genghis Khan, Ruler of All.
Infogrames' latest release puts
you in the shoes of Temujin,
Genghis Khan. The game is strate¬
You may have the biggest army but that
doesn’t mean tiddly when it gets wiped out
by the plague. You should have spent some
more money on the standards of living.
You can choose to control any of the four .
commanders listed here. Each requires dif¬
ferent tactics and strategies if you are to
succeed in conquering your rivals.
gy based with
w a r g a m e
sequences. It centres
on the continents of
Europe and Asia, with a
spotlight on the Gobi Desert
and the immediate area.
There are two main scenarios
and both are very different. The first
is a single player game and depicts
the early part of Temujin’s life.
You have to unite the tribes of
the Gobi into a single powerful
army with you at its head. The sec¬
ond scenario is more complex and
can cater for upto four players. You
must take control of one of four
countries, including the Mongols
and Genghis Khan himself,and
conquer the Eurasian continent.
You can give commands to
your followers and soldiers via a
series of drop down menus. You
have control of all aspects of your
tribes from trading to fighting, from
politics to farming. A map displays
all the regions involved in the cur¬
rent scenarios and a
status window dis¬
plays all the relevant
data on the currently
selected unit or country.
Whenever you go to war
with another country or tribe the
display alters to a more traditional
view of the battle field divided up
by hexagons. The two opposing
armies are shown in their relevant
positions, either in the
wilderness about to
attack or ready to
defend a city. You
have complete
control over each
unit using the
menu system, you
decide your tactics
and strategies.

Infogrames intend to reiease a trilogy of
historical simulations and Genghis Khan is
the first in the series, closely followed by
Bandit Kings of Ancient China. The menu
driven control system Is quick and simple
to use. Despite the game’s complexity and
the depth of play it was possibie to start
playing straightaway but to master the
challenge will take experience and a con¬
siderable amount of time. Graphics and
sound are adequate for a strategy game
and any shortfalls they may have are more
than compensated for by gameplay. A must
for any wargamer or armchair General.

Platforms games
have been around
on home comput¬
ers from almost the
day they were
released. Probably
the most remembered one to the
veteran games player will be the
ancient Speccy title, Manic Miner.
In this classic little game you con¬
trolled miner Willy as he patrolled
through his mine collecting a selec¬
tion of goodies, while at the same
time avoiding colourful mutant tele¬
phones and the like.
And as simple as the
idea of the platform game
is, it certainly works.
Game after game has
been brought out using
basically the same guide¬
lines but with the platforms
slightly rearranged and a
new character to familiarise
yourself with.
The major breakthrough came
when scrolling was added.
Then the action really
started and instead of
a load of one-screen lev¬
els, the game could
have just a few or
even one level of
gigantic proportions.
But the going
wasn’t all easy. Devel¬
opers soon started to run
out of ideas and unoriginal
releases became common. You
mon. You needed to take a
great deal of care when pur¬
chasing a game to avoid
something you'd seen many
times before. But original
ideas didn’t stop altogether
- and this is where Chuck
Rock comes in.
I
Oh dear! We need to get on a ledge to the right of the screen, but that chasm is just too big
for you to jump across. What can he do? Not to worry. Just catch a lift with the rather sleepy
looking beast. He will grasp hold of your hair and carry you to your next destination which
will invariably a higher level which would have previously been inaccessible.
At some points of the game you have to
depend on your reactions. Otherwise you
could end up not smelling too nice.
Usually a quick belly flop is enough to deal
with the various dinosaurs, but this one's a
totally different kettle offish. When you hit
him he splits into two.
Ah! At last you make it to the exit, but you’ve still got a long way to
go. Let’s just hope Ophelia is OK. You just can’t trust that Gary grit-
ter guy but wait until you get your hands on him.
With a small boulder held above your head you can protect yourself
from the barrage of boulders that come rolling down the hill. Howev¬
er, not all the rocks can be rebounded this way.
Ophelia, Chuck
Rock’s ever loving
wife has been taken
captive by the evil and
rather good looking Gary
Critter, and it is up to Chuck o
get her back. All he has to
axomplish this is his sheer brute
strength with which he will be able
to lift and use the various rocks and
boulders he will come across on his
journey.
Taking on the role of Chuck
there are five levels
that you will have to
battle your way
through, each divided
into a further five sub-lev¬
els. As the game is set in the
Prehistoric age there are plenty
of dinosaurs just waiting for you
to turn up and become their lunch
for the day.
These creatures come in quite
a few different shapes and sizes
and most have some sort of trick up
there sleeve ready to surprise
you. But not all the mon¬
sters you encounter will
be out to harm you. Here
and there you will come
across dinosaurs that will
carry you across swamps
or deep chasms that
would otherwise be
unpassable.
Nature itself is out
to make things hard as
well. Prickly thorn
bushes and slimey swamps
are present, and you'll
encounter the occasional
falling boulder every so often,
and just when you’re least
expecting it. And these can
give you quite a really painful-
headache if you
are not careful to
avoid them.
Continued on
the next page...
With a gut as big as yours you have to keep it weii suppiied.
At ieast your fiab comes in handy against those annoying
dinosaurs. Thrust it out at them and they wiii go ftying.
The forth tevet changes the styie of the game quite a bit. But
nothing can stop you from pursuing your wife. And you need
a bath anyway. You stink of Pteranadon droppings!
Oh no! The nasty ice Age has kiiied off most of the ioveiy
dinosaurs, but you are stiii making progress and you are
going to give that Gary a what for when you get hoid of him.
I
1} This is what they took tike.
These two ioveiy rocks come
in very handy during the game,
and without them Opheiia
woutd be lost forever.
2) Although your belly
can take care of the
monsters quite well,
the rocks are much
better for killing them.
3) Oh dear! That ledge is just that little bit too high for you to jump on. But
with the aid of your handy Black and Decker rock you can reach it quite eas¬
ily. Throw the rock against the cliff and leap onto it.
4) If you haven 7 got enough
rocks around you to make
some stairs then you’re going
to need a spring croc. Stand
on his tail, throw the rock on
5) Raindrops
keep falling on
my head. But
it’s the boul¬
ders we’re wor¬
ried about. For¬
tunately, this
fashionable
rock hat seems
to do the trick!
But drop the
rock and you’ll
be in trouble.
6) Yuk! That swamp looks even muckier than your
undies and the last thing you want to do is jump in.
But yet again your faithful rock comes to the rescue
A and provides a means of crossing..
But some of the boulders aren’t
there for hindrance. At some
points of the level you might come
across a cliff face that is too high
to scale. If this is so, all you have
to do is grab hold of a handy boul¬
der, and use it to give yourself a
leg up to the top of the rock face.
Of course, you are bound to
pick up a few knocks and bruises
along the way, and if you get too
many you will spin round and fall
to the ground dead, and conse¬
quently lose one of your lives. But
this can be avoided by scoffing the
selection of food that can be found
lying around that once eaten will
restore a certain amount of energy
(the better the food, the more
energy you get back).
If you manage to make it to
your destination, and you’re going
to have to be some kind of hunky
caveman to do that, you will come
face to face with the wicked girl-
napper, Gary Gritter.
Will you ever see Ophelia
again? How will you live without
her cooking the wonderful Bron¬
tosaurus stew with Pteradactyl
soup for pudd. I
guess you’ll just
have to get your
skates on and res¬
cue her. The trou¬
ble girls cause!

CHUCK ROCK
C0IIEE24.99
TEIUII:LPIIUIM.LnM'm>l
All you can really say about Chuck Rock is -
absolutely brilliant! Although it's just anoth¬
er platform game, it is a totally new con¬
cept. The way you interact with the rocks
and dinosaurs is great and just so original.
The graphics and sound are some of the
best I’ve seen this year and compliment the
game very well. The 25 levels have had a
lot of work put into them and will keep you
playing for hours, working out how to over¬
come each of the many problems. A smash¬
ing game and a must for everyone.

ARCADE ADVENTURE
I was just a boy
when it all started.
The land was a
beautiful place to
live in and peace
was eternal, and
even then Shankriya had a great
mastery of the mystic arts. But no
one really cared how powerful he
got just as long as he
continued to use
some of his spells to
help the comings and
goings of their everyday
life.
Then one day in a fell swoop,
Shankriya stepped forward and
stole all the land’s magical scrolls.
This move left the land virtually
defenceless, and even though the
mightiest warriors rose against him
they were no match for his magic.
While the scrolls were still in his
possession he was unbeatable,
and it was for this reason that he
stored them away in
his dungeons which
later became known as
the Death Trap.
You are a young man
who has been trained since his
early years for the task ahead of
you - to enter the Death Trap and
retrieve the sacred scrolls. You
have been taught how to fight and
use magic by the best that are still
alive, and you’ll need to use both
well if you are to stand a chance of
surviving against the evil incanta¬
tions that Shankriya has sum¬
moned to protect the scrolls.
As you enter the dungeon you
are armed with only a small club to
use against the vast numbers of
monsters, but there are ways of
improving your weapon. Red
chests can be found here and there
and inside are a selection of
1 ^goodies to aid you, including
power-ups for your club.
However, be careful
as some contain
deadly traps. You also
have a large variety of
spells, both offensive and
defensive, to use against the
monsters. But before you can
cast them you must first collect the
supplies of magic potions.
Each spell requires a certain
amount of a particular coloured
potion and these potions can be
found in the remains of most mon¬
sters that you slay. There are three
different coloured potions: red,
green and blue, and of course the
more potion you use the more pow¬
erful the spell and the longer it
lasts.
Can you res¬
cue the scrolls and
live to return
peace to your
land? Everything
lies in your hands!
Using the three different coloured potions
you assemble a few deadly spells to use
against the monsters. But they don’t last
forever so don’t waste them.

DEATH TMP
IIIIC0E24.99
TEAM:C.mR«IT
Anco have had only one truly successful
game to their credit and this was Kick Off.
Although Death Trap Is a definite departure
from this genre, the game is fairly addictive
and well presented. The gameplay Is a little
lacking and the plot somewhat stale but the
overall impression is fairly good. The graph¬
ics are the highlight of Death Trap and it is
obvious that a great deal of care and atten¬
tion has feen taken over them. Anco’s
arcade genre history has definitely taken a
step up with the release of Death Trap.

r You’ll need to know how far it is to
the pin so you can choose the
right club. That’s if you’ve brought it
with you of course.
A The wind can make things very
^ hard for you, and a iot a care and
judgement witi be needed to work out
how much slice or hook you need to put
on the bail.
J Clicking on the bail icon will show
you what sort of ground the ball is
on, and the lie of the grass on the
greens.
4 Which dub wili do the trick?
Check the distance and then give
it your best shot. You can’t do much
ipore than that.
5 Getting your feet right is very
important. Stand wrongty and you
couid end up with your bait in the rough
or out of bounds.
At iast you’re ready to hit the halt.
" But you’a need good timing if it’s
going to end up exactly where you
wanted to put it.
Golf is a very popu¬
lar sport, and one
that requires a
great deal of skill.
But not everyone
can be bothered
walking around a golf course with a
set of rather heavy clubs lopped
over their shoulder. So this is
where your handy home computer
comes in. All you have to do is
boot the disk and take the strain of
lifting the joystick into your lap.
Tournament Golf provides you
with three world-class courses (UK,
USA and Japan) and 15 interna¬
tional computer opponents to play
against in a bid to
become the
world number
one. But
you’ll need
to do a lot of
practising
before you’ll
# «

Stand a chance of beat- ^
ing the professionals. ^ ^
Trees and water are o
not the only things that you
will have to contend with while
playing. Weather conditions will
have to be monitored as well, so
that you can change the amount of
hook or slice you are going to put
on the ball to allow for the high
winds.
A selection of different clubs is
available for the more experienced
player. The quality of these clubs is
very important as it will affect the
distance that you will be able to hit
the ball. When you begin you will
be equipped with a set of black car¬
bon clubs. These are the worst
clubs due to the reduced distance
that you can hit the ball. With a car¬
bon one wood the furthest you can
hit it 230 yards as opposed to 265
yards with a super ceramic. This
can make a lot of difference to your
play
I game. The catch is you
. can only upgrade your
> clubs by winning a tourna-
ment.
The computer opponents you
against are very good and the
worst that they usually score is a
bogey on each of the 18 holes.
Also, if you take more than 100
strokes you will be disqualified
from the tournament because
you would not stand a chance.
Although you play against 15
computer opponents you can
only play against one friend,
unlike most sports games
released these
days that seem
to let more and
more human
players partici¬
pate.

TEAM: MOTIVE TIME
As sports games go Tournament Goif is pret¬
ty average, it’s not the best golf game I’ve
ever seen, but if you’re a fan and fancy
something new to piay around with then this
is certainiy worth a try. The graphics are
very good, and although the sound could
have been better it is adequate for this type
of game. It’s easy to get into, and doesn’t
have you searching through the manual just
to find out how to hit the bail properly. Noth¬
ing amazing that hasn't already been seen
before, but quite nice nevertheless.

(Above) What clubs should you take onto the
course? You can only take a certain number so
choose wisely, or pay the consequences.
(Right) You make it onto the green, but it’s not
over yet. Puttii\g is not a easy as it iooks and
you can quite easily overshoot and send your
ball off the other side of the green.
This is what can happen if you’re not careful enough when hitting the
ball. Although the ball was lined up, the wind and slice of the dub has
put you in the trees - and a lot of trouble!

PUZZLE AND QUIZ
You get most of the locks deactivated, so to prevent any from becoming activated again you
can use a padlock to freeze them in that position.
Once inside the safe you have to open nine deposit boxes. Each one takes about two sec¬
onds to open, so let’s hope you’ve got a bit of time.
Barnie had been
without money for
quite a while, and
he couldn’t even
remember the last
time he popped out
and blew a tenner on a slap up
meal at McDonalds. But things
have gone far enough for Barnie,
and now he’s going to get some
money - no matter what it takes.
Although he hasn’t got two
pennies to rub together his neigh¬
bours are quite a different story,
with money coming out of their
ears. So being the good neighbour
that he is, Barnie has decided to
relieve them of some of their price¬
less jewels.
However, achieving this task
isn’t easy as his neighbours have
taken precautions (fnar!) and their
collections of expensive
. - jewelry have been
popped into rather
expensive safes
equipped with tons of
tumblers and huge
amounts of alarms.
But as any good safe¬
cracker will know, nothing is
totally burigar-proof and it’s
up to Barnie to prove this
statement right and
become a very rich man
(and then blow it all at
McDonalds).
Once Barnie has broken
into the house and managed
to find the safe you will be
put in control. In each
level you will be faced
with a safe that has a
certain number of tum¬
blers connected to locks
that are presently stop¬
ping you from getting inside.
The tumblers are slightly differ¬
ent to the normal ones you might
icon inn
© Extra time: Collect these at
all costs. For each one you
pick up an extra 30 seconds
will be yours.
Pause: Collecting this icon
will stop the timer for a short
while. Not as good as the
extra time, but better than
nothing.
Restart: If you happen to get
into an impossible situation,
collect this and get another
try at the level - minus the
time you wasted.
see on a safe: Instead of having
numbers they each have four
colours (not necessarily different).
The locks are also different colours
and to deactivate them you must
match them with a same colour on
the tumbler that is next to them (eg.
red to red).
If two of the same colours are
matched on two different tumblers
they will repel each other thus turn¬
ing a tumbler that you may not be
able to control. But no matter what
happens during the game you must
keep your eye on the timer as you
must make sure that the safe is
open before it runs out.
However, you are not totally
without help. As you frantically
attempt to open the safe a selec¬
tion of different icons will appear
around the outside of the tumblers,
and when collected they will pro¬
vide a variety of helpful things such
as extra time. Can
you open the safe
and make Barnie

TEMliTEQUE :
Upon first playing Revelations you’ll realise
how addictive it is. The graphics and sound
are certainly adequate, although nothing
special. However, although Revelations is
good enough to be Recommended the
gameplay did strike me as a bit dodgy. At
some points during play I found myself beat¬
ing a whole string of levels simply by Just
turning the tumblers at random and not real¬
ly bothering to try and work it out properly.
But even so I still think you’ll find it a chal¬
lenge, and worth considering.

Most music packages are very expensive and invariably
fairly basic. This is where Quartet steps in. With the
power of a synthesiser and four track sequencer, it
allows you to play back up to four Instruments simultane¬
ously, thus turning your Amiga into a real musical Quar¬
tet.
The music editor consists of four scrolling staves
which hold the notes. These are entered via the key¬
board or the mouse which makes composing extremely
easy. The program comes complete with 100 musical
instruments and sound which can be easily accessed.
Up to 16 instruments can be stored at once and all of
these can be changed into drum rhythms.
Quartet costs £39.99 and is available from ByteBack
Software who you can contact on 0636 79097.

If you have your own business Scala is essential as
It allows you to present your Images in a neat, compact
and very professional way. It is also great fun for the
home user although It Is a little on the expensive side.
Expense aside, if you want to produce professional
video titling displays, your best option is Scala.
Silica System currently stock Scala and they can be

Disney have always pushed animation techniques to the
limit and now they have branched their expertise into the
computer industry. Each animation is created in much
the same way as used for the motion pictures.
Several cells are drawn and compiled to produce a
flicker-book type animation. The cells are then filled with
colour and tidied up to produce the finished piece. There
are other advanced features which take Disney Anima¬
tion program higher than any other motion creator. It is
very expensive but worth it. If you want to produce any
worthwhile anims then you will really need Imeg of RAM
which is a slight disadvantage.
Disney Animation retails for £99.95 and can be pur¬
chased from Gordon Harwood who can be reached on

No longer is a joystick a joystick because Logic 3 have
just released the Sting Ray which looks more like a
Phaser out of Star Trek. Fortunately, the stick is very
responsive and comfortable to hold. Fans of the Konix
Navigator will be pleased as the Sting Ray is very simi¬
lar, although it is definitely an improvement.
There are two versions available, the standard and
the auto-fire. The Sting Ray can be held in either hand
with an easily accessible trigger fire button. The stan¬
dard stick retails for £14.95 while the auto-fire retails for
£15.95. ^

If you ever wanted to reproduce mono samples on your
Amiga at a relatively cheap price then Mastersound is
the one for you. Although the product has been out for
some time it is still one of the best samplers available
for the Amiga at the price of £33.95.
The program features an excellent in-built editor that
allows you to change sampled sounds and remix them
as well as cut, fade, shrink and overlay, all these fea¬
tures make Mastersound a very powerful sound tool
indeed. Any samples that are saved can be used on
demos or programs. The sequencer also allows you to
play back any sequenced sounds while displaying IFF
picture files.

AMiGA DOS UOll-BRUCE SMITH BOOKS
Ask a new Amiga owner what the CLI is and he will
probably return with a blank and puzzled face. It is true
to say that many veteran owners will also
have the same reply. Unless you realise how to com¬
municate with your Amiga you’re not really getting the
most out of your machine.
Mastering Amiga Dos Vol I Is the first book in a
series of two which explain the working of the Amiga as
well as the CLI in depth. This book is an invaluable aid
to understanding your machine and one that no owner
should be without.
The book is fairly pricey at £21.95 but Is is an
invaluable aid to the Amiga. The book can be pur¬
chased from Bruce Smith Books on 0727 41248.
0) AMiGA DOS UOL2-BRUCESMITH BOOKS
Unlike Vol I, Vol II concentrates on all the commands
used with the CLI. These commands are the key to
communicating with the Amiga Dos system. Without
them, the CLI will seem confusing as the Amiga manual
is very unfriendly.
The book takes you step by step through the many
facets of Amiga Dos. It Is wise to purchase Vol I before
going onto Vol II as this will set you up for the subjects
covered in the sequel. Both add up to an excellent ref¬
erence guide which definitely warrant the asking price.
Cheaper than Vol I, Vol II is available for £17.95
from Bruce Smith Books on 0727 41248.

What on earth does a discman have to do with comput¬
ers? I hear you ask. Well, nothing really but it does give
you something to calm your nerves when you are work¬
ing on your machine. Block out the annoying blams and
smashes of games and settle back to Jean Michel
Jarre, Pink Floyd or Otis Reading. If you hate all of
those then you’re out of luck.
The Sony Megabass Discman is probably the best
of its kind at the price, producing a very clean sound. If
you’ve already got a CD player and it’s not the Sony
Megabass then you’ve probably wasted your money.
The Sony Megabass Discman retails for around
£130 and can be found in most reliable electrical shops
such as Currys and Rumbelows.

If you are new, or
even a dab hand at
the Amiga, this
series of articles is
for you. The
Amiga, or any other disk based
machine for that matter, relies on
some sort of Disk Operating Sys¬
tem (DOS); the PC has MSDOS
(Microsoft Disk Operating System),
the Atari ST has TOS (The Operat¬
ing System) and the Amiga has its
very own system - AmigaDOS.
So just what does it do? It con¬
veys the various commands which
the machine recognises and under¬
stands. These can range from a
simple operation to check what
files are on a disk, to a complete
line of instructions to make a disk
Auto load a program into the com¬
puter.
The only way to get at the DOS
is through an interpreter program
which takes your commands
entered at the keyboard and tells
the machine what to do. Com¬
modore have supplied two inter¬
preter programs which can be
found on the Workbench v1.3, v2.0
and v1.3.2 disks.
To see these, boot up your
Back-up version of the Workbench
disk and once it has loaded click on
the Workbench Icon to the right of
the screen. You should see all the
files and directories contained on
the Workbench disk. For this article
we will be using v1.3.2.
For this series instead of CLI
we’ll use the Shell program from
Workbench v1.3 or v2.0 due to the
fact it’s slightly more advanced.
Unfortunately, v1.2 of Work¬
bench only has only the CLI on its
disk. If you are a 1.2 owner howev¬
er, please don’t assume that you
can't join in with the series. Both
the CLI and the Shell are virtually
identical.
Now that we know where the
Shell and CLI are situated on the
Workbench disk, double click the
Shell icon (CLI if your using Work¬
bench v1.2) to load up the soft¬
ware. After a short while you should
be greeted with something the
same as the screen to the left
(Workbench v1.3 only).
The Shell or CLI actually waits
for Input commands from the user.
These commands can instruct the
computer to perform most opera¬
tions although the commands must
be recognisable otherwise the pro¬
gram will return with 'command not
known'. So what use is the CLI to
you?
The CLI is the only means of
communicating directly with the
Amiga. When you open up the
Workbench window you can see
various Icons. These are programs
but each one may have a series of
other routines to help it work.
These sub-programs aren’t visible
on the Workbench so you will need
to enter CLI to see them. Once
they are found you can then start
experimenting with them. But first
you will need to learn the basics
before you start messing with the
complex.
For the moment we have got to
find some way of getting rid of that
unsightly CLI window. The com¬
mand is straightforward and sim¬
ple.
To close the Shell/CLI window
type 'endcli'. You have just learnt
your first CLI command. Endcli
instructs the Amiga to close the
current CLI window and halt any
further input.
Now that you know how to get
to Shell and CLI and exactly what
their uses are we will leave it there
until next month, where we’ll use
Shell/CLI to show you exactly what
sort of information you can get
from a populated (full) disk, as well
as doing some basic disk routines.

UTILITIES: The Utilities are programs more
for the fun of the user than the importance
of the machine. It contains the notepad,
clock and calculator etc.
SYSTEM: The System drawer is the most
important drawer on tyhe Workbench and it
should never be erased. It contains the CLI
and system preferences for the Amiga.
EXPANSION: The expansion drawer comes
empty at first but is useful if you have any
add-ons such as a Hard Disk. Any software
requirements for these extras can be
stored in the Expansion drawer.
SHELL: The is the interpreter program that
the user needs to communicate with the
Amiga operating system. From here we can
examine disks and perform function on
them.
PHEFERENCES: The preferences control the
colour of the Workbench and the image of
the pointer which can be edited.

Following up the hugely successful
Gauntlet, Gauntlet II is a hack ‘n
slay of massive proportions.
Viewed from above, the game can
have up to four players at a time
with the aid of an adaptor. It fea¬
tures over 100 levels of maze-may¬
hem, a total of 1,000 different
screens.
Four characters can be chosen
from Questor the Elf, Merlin the
Wizard, Thor the Warrior and Thyra
the Valkyrie. A whole plethora of
new creatures have been included,
along the lines of the ‘if monsters
and the fire-breathing dragon.
Death also makes a reappear¬
ance, along with the whailing
ghosts and club-wielding ogres.
Locked doors may conceal hidden
treasure, and there is also a secret
room to be found.

Choosing between Barbarian or Marla Whittaker, you must venture

Whereas the first was a straight hack’n’slay battle. Barbarian II - The

if you do run out of

From the very
beginning your job
as a Zodiac agent
had been a tough
one. Your first
assignment had
proved that. You had to infiltrate
the Corporation’s 16 story head¬
quarters and obtain an experimen¬
tal embryo from the building’s
foetal laboratory.
Avoiding the multitude of
alarms and guards had been quite
tough, but you had managed it by
the skin of your teeth and returned
to your base victorious - and with
the embryo.
It is because of this initial
encounter with the Corporation that
you have been chosen out of all
the other Zodiac agents to take on
this mission. Once again you must
investigate rumours of mysterious
happenings, but this time it’s in the
UCC’s North American headquar¬
ters which is basically the same
size as the Corporation’s building.
You managed to survive your last
death defying mission, but can you
make it out alive this time? There’s
only one way to find out.
Corporation did extremely well
for itself when it came out a few
months back. It had to put up with
being compared to the likes of
Dungeon Master. As anyone who
has played both will
know, they are completely
different in gameplay. But
even though it was judged
against such a massive hit. Cor¬
poration still came out smelling of
roses.
Using a mouse you must con¬
trol your character and attempt to
infiltrate the complex and this time
retrieve a certain item from the
buildings Genetic laboratory. The
mission disk is basically the same
as the original game In the way that
all the monsters and items identi¬
cal. But there is one extra hard
robot to use as your character and,
of course, all the maps have been
changed, as well as
things being made a lot
harder!
None of the equipment has
changed, but because of the
change in setting and difficulty you
will have to work out what would be
best to take this time. There are
even more cameras dotted around
the complex that will track you and
set off alarms to alert the building’s
sentry guards. So you’ll have to be
ready with your
gun to blast them.
The first mission
was merely prepa¬
ration for this, the
final test.

Corporation the Mission Disk will appeal to
all fans of the original, with the game,
graphics and sound being identical.
Although the original was very good the
Mission Disk could have done with at least a
few extra nasties just to spice it up a bit. But
with that said the extra levels are still good
and pose quite a challenge being slightly
more difficult than before. A very good buy
at the price, but I think It could have been a
little more original. NB: Needs the original

The equipment is basically the same.

LAST NINJA III
SYSTEM 3 £24.99
TEJIM: SYSTEM 3
Ninja III is a very good product
that has at last left behind the
other Ninja games and become a
much more 16-bit looking game,
something which a lot of other
companies haven’t been able to
manage. The graphics are partic¬
ularly good, and the size and ani¬
mation of the sprites really adds
to the gameplay. From what
we’ve played of the game so far
you should all be able to look for¬
ward to what’s probably going to
be one of the best games to be
released this year.
There are five levels in all, each depleting one of the five Ninjitsu elements. Here
water is the subject of conversation.
to you thanks (if that’s what you
can call it) to Activision. But unfor¬
tunately it was very poor with little
done to improve it to 16-bit stan¬
dards, and even the gameplay was
terrible with the player having to
struggle for hours on end just to
pick up a stupid key.
With plans for Ninja III already
in the pipeline this was quite dis¬
turbing for System 3. It now meant
that Ninja III sales would probably
be dramatically less due to the fact
that most people would remember
the standards of Ninja II and decide
not to buy the game.
It was for this reason that Ninja
Remix was released. System 3 felt
they needed to set the story
straight and show people what they
were capable of. As people who
read the review in issue 17 will
know, Ninja Remix was a hell of a
lot better.
Any way, back to our present
subject - Ninja III. The story line
behind the game follows on from
where Ninja II left off. Yet again
Kunitoki has risen, and it’s up to
you the Last Ninja to hunt him
down and, using every iota of skill
that you possess, put an end to him
once and for all.
Although the first two games
were very similar in actual idea and
layout. Ninja III has been changed
quite a bit and now involves many
more cryptic puzzles. Instead of
simply just collecting the objects
and then working out what they’re
used for Ninja III goes one step
further. Now you can manufac¬
ture objects. For example you
may find a key mould and some
metal, which you must then take
to a furnace to make a key, and
th^n use it to enter a previously
locked door.
The graphics are now much
improved with Ninja and enemy
sprites twice the normal size
enhancing the look of the game.
The animation is much better and
probably some of the best yet
seen. One in particular, a robot, is
so good you almost go into a
trance the first time you see it.
Up to three of these amazing¬
ly animated sprites can appear
on the screen at any one time,
and they will certainly put your
Ninja to the test. However, unlike
the first Ninja games you can’t
just run past them and not bother
killing them. Each time an enemy
dies your Ninja will receive some
Bushido
power. This
will enable
you to overcome the end-of-level
guardian, but you’ll have to
defeat quite a few enemies to get
enough.
There are five levels in all
with each of them
one of the five Ninjitsu
elements: Earth,
Air, Water, Fire
and Void. The
levels' time
periods
change as well,
and in the later
stages you end up
against the aforemen¬
tioned robot that is
animated so well.
There is also a
small mini-level to
accompany each ele¬
mental level that con¬
tains the end-of-level
guardians. The latter are
very tough and you will
need a lot of Bushido
power to beat them. Ninja III is
certainly a game to look forward
to as our review next month
should hopefully show.

prisoner having the chance to win
glory as well as money. The game
is played on a football type pitch
with a moat at each end. Behind
each moat is a small Pott (bucket)
which is used as a goal. The
game’s rules are fairly easy: get the
ball (a small unfortunate creature)
and throw it in the Pott. That’s it
really!
Starting off with a team of 13
prisoners you must coach them as
they play through countless num¬
bers of games, and then finally
begin a tour of the continent. But
there’s a lot more to your job than
just overseeing the team.
Prize money is awarded each
time your team wins a game and
this has got to be put to good use.
But finding the best way to spend it
is not easy!
There are quite a few things in
the city of Gorden that the money
can be spent on, each of them ben-
Gorden is just like
any city in the con¬
tinent. It has its
imports and
exports, its hard-
workers and crimi¬
nals. But unlike our society the
criminals are dealt with slightly dif¬
ferently. Here, instead of putting
them in prison and making the tax
payers responsible for the cost of
their stay, they are put to more use¬
ful tasks.
Once convicted a criminal is
given a choice of several jobs to do
to earn money that will eventually
allow him to buy himself out of
prison (if that’s what you can call
it). The usual jobs are available:
boulder and rubble expert (stone
breaker), packaging engineer (glu¬
ing paper bags), medical assistant
(guinea pig) or sportsman (MUDS).
MUDS (Mean Ugly Dirty Sport)
is the most popular choice with the
efiting your team in some way.
These benefits come in various
forms: some in the way of help
from defecting prisoners of the
opposing team, and others that
affect the statistics of your players.
This in turn affects their perfor¬
mance on the field.
Prisoners can also be bought
and sold so that you can improve
your team and replace any team
members that might get killed dur¬
ing the game. But healing shops
are available for prisoners who are
only beat up a little. Succeeding in
the tour will be
hard as the oppos¬
ing teams are
mean, but your
MUDS team is

The first thing you notice when you play
MUDS is its similarity to Grand Monster
Slam, the popular creature sports sim. But
don’t make the mistake of thinking that the
gamepiay will be just as good because it’s
far from it. Although a lot seems to have
gone into the presentation it just doesn’t
seem to work, and the game is not very
good. The main reason for this is the con¬
trol system that is quite awkward to get the
hang of, and at points you end up getting
very frustrated because your men just
never seem to be in the right place.
Although it had the makings of a good
game, when it comes down to it MUDS is
not one I would recommend.

TEAM;K0EI
Bandit Kings is the second in the new
series of historical strategy games from
Infogrames. It uses a similar control sys¬
tem to the initial release, Genghis Khan,
and any comments made about that game
also hold true to Bandit Kings. The depth
contained in the game is amazing and
despite the fact that the manual is well
over 100 hundred pages thick it is possible
to start play straightaway as the control
system is very accessible. Bandit Kings is
slightly inferior to the previous release but
is still an outstanding game. Highly recom¬
mended for any strategy enthusiast.

^■jnHpn At the beginning of
the 12th century
the Song Dynasty
of China was dan-
gerously close to
- collapse. The bar¬
barians of the Jin Empire threat¬
ened to invade from the north and
destroy the ruling family. Emperor
Hui Zhong was so concerned with
the external threats that he failed to
notice the danger within.
The Imperial Minister Gao Qiu
quickly rose to power within the
government. This despotic tyrant
soon became the authority in Song.
Under his rule men who displeased
him were exiled, while evil men
who supported him were raised to
positions of importance.
Eventually the best of the
exiled heroes, the bandit kings,
gathered together to oppose Gao
Qiu and avenge themselves.
The game can cater for upto
seven players and each takes one
turn every month. You must build
up popularity and followers until
you have sufficient power to chal¬
lenge Gao Qui and kill him.
During normal strategic play
the game presents you with a map
of China divided into 49 regions.
Alongside this is data on selected
units and regions. Using drop down

FRENCH QUARTERS
At regular periods the Germans will
call an exercise period during which
you will be able to visit all the non-
restricted areas of the castle. At other
times you are confined to your quar¬
ters. So make as much use of this free
time as possible. The exercise period
doesn’t really last that long so you will
have to be quick. Be careful to avoid
the guards when you make your way
back to your quarters otherwise the
Germans will pick you up.
When you
caught in
aforbid-
den area
any equipment
you are carrying will
^ be confiscated. If you col-
lect all your possessions in a sin-
gle place and just take the items that
you need then you reduce the losses.
During World War 2
Colditz was the
most feared prison¬
er of war camp.
Digital Magic Soft¬
ware have released
a game which allows you to control
four of its captives, in an attempt to
outwit the German guards and
make a break for freedom.
Chapter 1
Colditz. The Germans claim it is
escape proof, they say that any
man imprisoned there will never
taste the fresh air of freedom
again. We, the prisoners of a harsh
war, intend to prove them wrong.
We are a small group of four
friends that intend to liberate our¬
selves from this hell hole. There is
myself - an Englishman, an Ameri¬
can, Frenchman and lastly a Pole.
Our plans are still in their infancy -
we must search the castle exten¬
sively before we can start any work
in earnest.
Our main problems at the
moment are the
restricted areas into
which we cannot
venture. Home made
lock picks have allowed
us some freedom but heavy
security doors still block our
way. The German guards make
life difficult but even they cannot
be everywhere at the same time.
Chapter 2
Our explorations are finally getting
us somewhere. Using keys that we
have acquired from some sleepy
guards we are now able to open
some of the security doors. The
areas beyond them are of course
restricted. We are finally building
up a map of the castle which will
be an invaluable aid in our
attempts to gain freedom.
My American colleague was
caught in the store rooms and as
punishment was placed in solitary
confinement for several days. The
biggest set-back however was that
the security keys he was carrying
were taken by the Germans. We
will now have to search for
replacements.
Chapter 3
Our plans are finally coming
together. We have now managed
to collect pick-axes, shovels and
other equipment that can be used
for tunnelling and candles are now
being gathered so that we light our
way. A single gate pass has been
found and if we can get our hands
on a German uniform one of us
may be able to bluff his way past
the sentries and
make it to freedom.
Chapter 4
We have finally started
tunnelling. After removing
a small section of the floor
boards in the chapel we start¬
ed to excavate towards the
northernmost castle wall. While
one of us tunnels another must
keep an eye out for any approach¬
ing guards. A second tunnel start¬
ing in the canteen is being planned
at this very moment.
(Right) Having
collected all
the necessary
equipment
you have
started to dig
your way to
freedom.
There are sev¬
eral places
from where
you can start
your excava¬
tions and it
may take you
some time to ^
find the ideal
location.
In order to find the
items that are essen¬
tial to your escape you
will have to search the
German offices. The
rewards are great but
there are great risks.
Before launching yourself into a major escape plan it is quite a good idea to check that all
your characters are in place and ready to take whatever course of action you may decide.
This will also pause the game so that you can take a breather.

22 SHADOW OF THE BEAST
■
The Pole has managed to get
held of a German soldier’s uni¬
form. After hiding it in a safe place
he was caught by a guard and
pi iced in solitary confinement.
Tt-ey are sure to question him -
the Germans are becoming suspi¬
cious.
Chapter 5
The tunnels are nearly complete -
it will take only a few more days’
work before freedom is ours. We
mrjst very cautious in these late
st iges. The German patrols have
become more frequent now. For
them to find our work at this stage
would be disastrous. Using the
uniform and pass that we have in
our possession my Polish friend
intends to make his escape
attempt tomorrow night. The rest
of us will follow using the tunnels
ae soon as possible.
Bad news. My French com-
penion has been brash. Using a
roce he tried to scale the outer
w?.)ll during the night. He was obvi¬
ously discovered by the Germans
and shot. He will be sorely missed.
Our own attempts at freedom must
begin now. To delay will mean cer¬
tain discovery by the more vigilant
patrols.
The packaging to the game of
Coiditz is excellent and includes a
map of the castle
ard the actual
novel on which the
game is based
which provides
excellent reading.
ESCAPE FDOMCOLDITZ
mUEIC £24.99
TEAM: JEN LAWS MIKE HALSAU
Coiditz is based upon the board game of
the same name produced by Gibson Games
and follows the original quite closely.
Sound and graphics are adequate for this
type of game but they do have flaws. For
example the screen update becomes jerky
at certain points during the game. The
biggest let down is the lack of save facility.
You will have to play from start to finish in
one go and given the size of the playing
area this could take some time. Finishing
the game will require a lot of patience, but
arcade adventure enthusiasts or fans of the
board game should definitely check this
one out. IVs nice to see that they have
included the novel by P.R Reid as this gives
an invaluable insight into the actual goings
on that shaped the board and computer
game. Coiditz is definitely recommended
but it requires a great deal of devotion.
CANDLE
Allows you to see when in
the underground tunnels.
PICK-AXE
Used for opening a tunnel
in the courtyard.
PASS
If you show your pass to a
guard he may let you into a
restricted area. But this
may not always work.
SILVER KEY
Will open any door with a
grade one security lock.
SAW
To start a tunnel inside you
must first remove the floor
boards with the saw. Then
you can enter Into it.
LOCK PICK
Will open any door that
hasn’t got a security lock.
PAPERS
These fake German identi¬
fication papers may get
you through the main gate.
Keep them safe.
Nt ighty, naughty. You have been caught in a restricted are and the guards have
pli ced you in solitary confinement. It could be hours before you are released so any
pli ns you had may have to be abandoned.

Only a few demos naoe been receiued oner
_ the past tew weens, so
naturaity we could only entend the
couerage to what you see on the
page hetow. This month we
haue three people to thank
tor sendfng tn a coitection of
tnefr latest demos, it you want
any of these contact either A Bit on the side.
CVB computers or BBS.
1 An excellent demo to
show off the capabifities of
your Amiga is Fillet the Fish,
offering superb animations and hilari¬
ous cartoon capers.
S Another superb PD disk
is the Chaos Rock demo sent
to us by A Bit on the Side. It
features some really great music
accompanied by some rather dated
psychedelic effects.
3 Another great animation
* for one megabyte users is
the Car and Unicycle anim
demo featuring two animated
sequences that eventually join togeth¬
er when the car hits the cycle.
^ There are absolutely
loads of Star Trek animation
demos, each one usually
depicting a classic scene from one of
the films. This demo disk shows the
Reliant being repaired as you scan
over the bridge and turn to see other
famous starships.
5 Making a change from
^ the usual Batdance remixes

A BEAST OF A PROBLEIVI
/ have recently bought the latest
Amiga Action and to be quite hon¬
est, I think it is brilliant For Christ¬
mas me and my brother received
an Amiga and your magazine has
helped us to understand the great
variety of games available. I pur¬
chased Shadow of the Beast II on
the basis of your excellent review
but I cannot get past the monster
that appears just behind the water¬
fall. Can you help?
Also, I have one or two other
queries:
1. In your opinion, what are the
best adventures I can lay my
hands on?
2. What is the best goif game for
the Amiga?
3. Are there going to be any more
new releases from Psygnosis?
4. How much does a decent
modem cost?
Andrew Thompson, Edinburgh.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your gener¬
ous comments on the mag. When
we reviewed Beast II a few months
back, Aiex and Doug were also
having problems in defeating that
same monster. As far as I can tell,
the giant cyclops needs to be lured
over the bridge. When he follows
you, he’ll fall through leaving you to
carry on.
1. In my opinion Sierra adventures
are by far the best. I suggest you
look at the Space Quest or King’s
Quest series.
2. There are a number of decent
golf games on the Amiga, but one
that represents excellent value is
World Class Leaderboard, now
available from Kixx for £7.99.
3. Psygnosis have just released
the superb Lemmings, and last
month they released Obitus. The
only other game in the pipeline is
Armour-Geddon, a futuristic battle
simulator.
4. It depends on what you mean
by a decent modem. A really top
quality modem will set you back a
lot of groats. However there are
two"cheaper types availabledual
speed (1200/75 baud only) and
multi-speed (120075 and
1200/1200 baud). You can still pick
up a dual speed modem for around
£80. Try Pace on 0274 488211.
The more popular and faster
multi-speeds are naturally more
expensive at around £280. You can
also try Eurolink on 0625 878888.
HOT ROB HIJINH
Last night, armed with my joystick
(I beg your pardon?) / played the
lUU
VOO'UE BEEN FRAMEO
/ have been an Amiga owner for a
few months now and I now have a
couple of questions I need to ask
you.
1. I know someone at my school
who pirates computer games and
has on a number of occasions tried
to sell me them. Of course I have
refused but he just won’t stop pes¬
tering me.
He says he has an uncle in the
States who works for Ocean and
gets him the games before they are
daylights out of Activision’s Hotrod.
Don’t ask how long for, because I
stopped counting after the first
hour.
I was hoping to complete it that
night, but after completing the first
hundred screens I decided to give
up as it was 4 o’clock in the morn¬
ing. I wonder if you could tell me if
the game ever finishes, or whether
it carries on repeating tracks?
Mark ‘bored’ Donovan, Hants.
You seem to be having the same
problem that Alex had when he
reviewed the game many issues
ago. He played it for well over two
hours and managed to complete
over 120 stages.
In answer to your question, as
far as I know the game keeps on
wrapping around, but if anybody
has persevered through it to the
end, please let us know.
STRATEGIC INFO
This may make you feel a little sick
but I am trying to get some infor¬
mation on a strategy war game I
used to play on the Dragon 32. It
was called Strategic Command by
Microdeal, and the reason I
thought it was so good was the fact
that you could play with two players
at the same time. I was hoping you
could give me any help on an
Amiga version, or something simi¬
lar.
Ian Dryden, Newcastle.
I have good news and some bad
news. The bad news first: No one
here can ever recall a game called
Strategic Command on the Amiga
by Microdeal or any other company
for that matter. However, Doug has
said that Conflict Europe had a
similar option for two players, so I
suggest you try that one.
released but I don’t know whether
he is telling the truth or not. When
we confronted him, he denied the
accusations, so we got copies of a
few off him i.e. Hard Drivin’, Hotrod,
etc, so we would have proof
against him. What I would like to
know is will I get prosecuted for
handling pirated games and should
inform F.A.S.T. of our story?
2. Why have you not reviewed
Defenders of the Earth? If you
don’t intend to review it, could you
please tell me a score so I can
decide whether to buy the game or
not?
3. Is there a cheat for Rainbow
Islands?
Anonymous.
If you are worried about being pros¬
ecuted yourself, you should be fine
if you send the pirated disks to
FAST straightaway. Remember that
pirating software is against the law,
and if you can supply information to
assist FAST in their aims, you could
get a reward.
The reason we didn’t review
Defenders of the
Earth is
because we
were never
sent a
review copy
of the game
at the time
of release.
However, we have now played it
and scored it 62% overall.
As for a Rainbow Islands
cheat, I don’t know of one for the
Amiga version.
REABER GALLERY GGNE?
Last year I bought a copy of Amiga
Action and .^noticed the Reader
Gallery page. I saw the quality of
the graphics and got to work on
Photon Paint, and made some
good piccies. I then decided to
purchase the next issue of AA and
to my horror my newsagent had
stopped selling it.
I was wondering if Amiga
Action still featured Reader Gallery
and if so, do you return the art
disks?
Michael Woozley, Swansea.
Luckily for you, Michael we still do
the Reader Gallery page, although
the response in the past three
months has been very poor. Feel
free to send in any artwork that you
may have done, but sadly we
cannot guarantee to return the
disks. So I recommend you
make a back-up and send that
in. Also, tell your newsagent to
start selling Amiga Action again as
the new look is enough to grace
the shelves of any shop!

It was a while ago that Mercenary came out. It
was somewhat of a hit and probably Novagen’s
most popular game. Moonfall is almost identical
in look, but vastly different in gameplay.
You are a pilot on a starship called Dedalus
I on course for Wolf 359. Unfortunately, a small
moon that has strayed out of its orbit happens to
be in your path, forcing you to make an emer¬
gency landing on the planet.
Unable to leave, your only choice is to run
missions for the alien inhabitants to stay alive.

Ski or Die has been available on the PC for
quite a time now, but it has finally arrived on the
Amiga. Believe it or not, Ski or Die is about ski¬
ing and other events involving snow.
There are five events in all: Snowboard Half¬
pipe, Snowball Blast, Acro-Aerials, Innertube
Thrash and Downhill Blitz.
Half-pipe is viewed from behind your man,
and involves you performing a number of tricks
while movingdown a half pipe. Snowball Blast is
a fight between you and a number of kids who

Before the dawn of mankind dinosaurs roamed
the plains of Earth. You must travel back mil¬
lions of years to the times when these giant
lizards ruled the planet unchallenged, that is
until they became extinct many centuries later.
You must journey on a prehistoric tale to save
the dinosaurs.
A Prehistoric Tale can be played solo or two
player simultaneously. Your job Is to transfer
dinosaurs from a seismically active area (you
know, a place where there are loads of vol¬
canos and earthquakes) to a quieter region. To
do this, you must teleport the eggs and their
hatchlings.
There are 80 levels in all and the task
ahead isn’t going to be an easy one. The parent
dinosaurs are not all that keen on you taking
their offspring and have other plans for you -
dinner!

During the peace treaty, the world was at
rest. However, now it has ended the eight war¬

You begin the game with a lone castle and a

Amiga Action runs fairly smoothly
from month to month but there is
one job that leaves us all quaking
in our boots and that is the job of
getting the coverdisk. This respon¬
sibility is tossed around like a
rather soggy lettuce. No one wants
it!
The Ed is normally blessed
with getting the coverdisk together
but the strain has finally taken its
toll and therefore he has decided to
shun the responsibility and give it
to someone else, after all, he
makes the final decisions and any¬
one who argues with him gets
thrown under a speeding train.
The person nominated for the
task at hand happens to be a cer¬
tain jug-eared fink who you all
know well - Doug.
On hearing the news Doug
breaks down into a useless blob.
Just look at the relief on the Ed’s
face and the utter horror on Doug’s
on hearing the news.
Unfortunately, there is no such
thing as sympathy at Amiga Action
and so Doug is forced to go and
whimper in one of the corners of
the office. Oh the joy of being the
editor of Amiga Action!

CAUGHT in THE ACT
The Main Man of Interactive, Hugh
Gollner, is seen here phoning up
one of those naughty chat lines. In
fact, Hugh has just acquired him¬
self a new girlie friend. Although we
refer to her as new it is true to say
that Hugh has never had any old
girlfriends. In fact, he's never had a
girlfriend at all!
Hang on a minute, what’s this
Hugh? Leave now? What do you
mean?

UEIIA FUUCE
We recommend that you try out a
little Amiga Action party game -
Delta Force. Unfortunately, it is a lit¬
tle dangerous so take care. This is
a joke so don’t try it otherwise we’ll
get letters of complaint from your
mums.
Three people start at the top of
the stairs. The first person, or lead¬
er, slides head first down the stairs
at great speed. The other two fol¬
low. The result: - a rather large
mountain of groaning bodies with a
few twisted and broken limbs. But
take a look at the burn marks. Now
you are a proud member of the
Delta Force.
Amiga Action cannot be held
responsible for any subsequent
injury or deaths resulting from the
dangers of this new sport. So don’t
take it out on us.
Last month we printed the winners
of the Aaah, It Must be Jane^
compo but we just had to show you j;
this entry which will also win its'"
creator a copy of Team Suzuki >
from Gremlin Graphics. The art-f
work is excellent and even Jane|^
commented on how realistic it was.
We think the fangs could have ?
been longer but the hair is just right !
as well as the mouldy features. ^
Well done Paul Henderson.
You may not recognise this young
lady but it is Interactive’s Advertis¬
ing Manager and keep fit freak,
Jane Conway.
Now Jane tells us that she not
a heavy drinker but we think differ¬
ently. This picture tells it all! Jane is
such an incessant drinker that
when she’s too drunk to hold the
bottle she has to get some assis¬
tance. The glowing cheeks and
starry eyes are all you need to see
to realise that she needs help. Any
ideas, send them in.
